Biography
Dr. Hussain is working at University of Canberra as Associate Professor of Biomedical Robotics where he has founded and leading the Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics Research Laboratory. Prior to that he has worked as lecturer at University of Wollongong, Australia. Dr. Hussain has obtained his PhD in Robotics from the University of Auckland, New Zealand in 2013. His research interests include assistive and rehabilitation robotics, compliant actuation of robots, robot mechanism design and optimization, non-linear dynamics and control of robotic systems, human-robot physical interaction using artificial intelligence, biomechanical modelling, engineering education and micro electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). Dr. Hussain has published more than 95 papers in prestigious journals of the field.
I am accepting PhD students in the field of rehabilitation and assistive robotics (Assistive and Rehabilitation Robotics Research Laboratory). Interested applicants can contact me at: [email protected]
