Marek Sierotowicz
Marek Sierotowicz is a doctoral candidate at the Institute for Medical Robotics of the Friedrich-Alexander Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg
He has an education as an electronic engineer, with a specialization in robotics. During his time at the Institute for Robotics and Mechatronics of the German Aerospace Center, his research activities were mainly concerned with Human-Machine Interfaces and robotic applications with a focus on human-in-the-loop. By investigating these topics, Marek hopes to give his contribution in improving feasibility, effectiveness and practicality of crewed space missions.
His current research is focusing on novel actuation and sensor modalities to be used both in order to provide force feedback in teleoperation and VR applications, as well as in rehabilitation and assistance for patients suffering from motor ailments.

Giulia Bodo
Giulia Bodo completed her academic journey with a focus on Biomedical and Mechatronic Engineering. Currently in her third year of a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, she conducts research at the Rehab Technologies Lab, Italian Institute of Technology, Genoa. Her work revolves around enhancing human-machine interaction and achieving rehabilitation outcomes for shoulder joints in orthopedic and neurological patients using innovative control strategies for upper limb exoskeletons. She is also involved into telemedicine projects, collaborating with research institutions and clinical partners to develop innovative solutions for e-health.
Francesco Missiroli
Francesco Missiroli is a Postdoctoral Researcher at Heidelberg University, at the Institute of Computer Engineering, under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Lorenzo Masia. He is part of the Assistive Robotics and Interactive ExoSuits (ARIES) research group. He received his Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering and his Master's degree in Bioengineering from the University of Padua. He received his PhD degree in Medical Engineering from the University of Heidelberg. His main research interests are in mechanical design, rehabilitation robotics, embedded control systems, and human‑machine interfaces. He is currently involved in research projects related to the development of soft robotic suits to assist and augment human motor performance, both in rehabilitation and industrial environments.
Sabine Thürauf
Dr. Sabine Thuerauf studied computer science at TU Munich from 2009-2014. Afterwards, she started her PhD with a joint project of the research institute fortiss, Siemens Healthcare, Clinic rechts der Isar and TU Munich about the spatial calibration of robotic C-arm systems. During her PhD she was a visiting scholar at the CAMP lab at Johns Hopkins University. She received her PhD in 2018 and spent a couple of years in industry and parental leave until she started her PostDoc in 2022 at Assitive Intelligent Robotics Lab at FAU Erlangen-Nurmeberg. Her research focuses on intuitive robot control, haptic feedback and tele-impedance.
