outreach, public engagement, and community activities.

Outreach and public engagement

I actively communicate robotics research to audiences across academia, industry, and the public through talks, live robot demonstrations, workshops, and community activities. Alongside research, I value building spaces where robotics is more accessible, collaborative, and engaging across disciplines and career stages.

Public engagement and demonstrations

In recent years, I have delivered research presentations and live robot demonstrations to diverse audiences at Cambridge Festival 2025, ICRA 2024, IFE (International Food and Drink) Manufacturing 2024, and REAP (Realising the Economic and Agricultural Potential conference) in 2023. These activities focused on communicating both technical research outcomes and their potential real-world applications across academia, industry, and the public.

I have also taken part in school-facing outreach activities, including robotics engagement at Hardwick and Cambourne Community Primary School in 2023.
