Alexander Alexiev
I am a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering at MIT, advised by Prof. Sangbae Kim. My research focuses on proprioceptive control for dexterous manipulation, combining reinforcement learning, optimal control, tactile sensing, and custom robotic hardware.
Previously, I studied Engineering Science at the University of Toronto and worked on robot learning, medical robotics, and embedded systems.
