报告人简介：
Professor Kaspar
Althoefer is an electronics engineer, leading research on Robotics at Queen Mary
University of London. After graduating with a degree in Electronic Engineering
from the University of Technology Aachen, Germany, and obtaining a PhD in Robot
Motion Planning from Kings College London, he joined the Kings Robotics Group in
1996 as a Lecturer. Made a Senior Lecturer in 2006, he was promoted to Reader
and Professor in 2009 and 2011, respectively. In April 2016, he joined Queen
Mary as full Professor of Robotics Engineering.
In the run-up to the 2014
REF, Professor Althoefer was the head of the task force preparing the response
for Kings Informatics; the Department moved up considerably from a mid-table
position in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise to 12th position in the
country according to the 2014 REF GPA.
His current research interests are
in the areas of robot autonomy, soft robotics, modelling of tool-environment
interaction dynamics, sensing and neuro-fuzzy-based sensor signal classification
with applications in robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery, rehabilitation,
assistive technologies and human-robot interactions in the manufacturing
environment.
He was awarded more than £ 4.5 Million in competitive
research funding from funding bodies such as the Wellcome Trust, EPSRC and the
European Commission; he strongly contributed to the attainment of further grants
in excess of £ 20 Million, especially through collaboration with colleagues at
St Thomas Hospital London focusing on creating robotic solutions for the
healthcare sector. Prof Althoefer was the coordinator of two EU projects
(STIFF-FLOP and CONPHIRMER), and PI/Co-I on numerous further EU, EPSRC and
industry-sponsored projects. He is currently the PI / Co-I of EU projects
FourByThree and SQUIRREL and a project on landmine detection sensors funded by
charity FABW (Find a Better Way), co-founded by Sir Bobby Charlton.
Prof
Althoefer has authored/co-authored more than 200 peer-reviewed papers. The
majority of his journal papers (over 60%) are in the top journals of the field,
including top transactions and journals of the IEEE and ASME and proceedings of
the leading national learned societies in the field, IMechE and IET. He is named
inventor on five patent applications.
He was the principal supervisor of
18 successful PhD students. He is currently heading a team of five postdoctoral
Research Assistants/Fellows and six PhD students.
