About me

I am an Assistant Professor at Nagoya University, where I am part of the Intelligent Robotics and Biomechatronics Laboratory, and a Specially Appointed Assistant Professor at Tohoku University through the JST BOOST program, working with the Smart Robot Design Laboratory. My research focuses on human-centered robot learning and intelligent manipulation, with the aim of developing robotic systems that can learn from human guidance, adapt to changing conditions, and work effectively alongside people. I am particularly interested in how these capabilities can be applied to complex physical tasks, including manipulation in assistive and medical settings.

I received my B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering from the National University of Engineering in Peru, and my master’s and doctoral degrees in Micro-Nano Mechanical Science and Engineering from Nagoya University in Japan. During my graduate studies, I worked on human–robot interaction and medical robotics, with research spanning robotic surgical systems, haptic interfaces, motion planning, and autonomous assistance.

More broadly, I am interested in developing robotics that combine learning, physical interaction, and human expertise in ways that are useful in real-world applications. I welcome opportunities for interdisciplinary collaboration and to work with students and researchers interested in related areas. If you are interested in my research or potential collaborations, please feel free to get in touch.
