My name is Ivan Fischman Ekman Simões. I love Robotics, and the best way to get to know me is to take a look at the projects I have worked on! I recommend:
Ph.D. in Robotics, Master’s in Robotics and Ankle Prosthesis Patent
I’m a PhD student at the Mechanical Engineering Dept. at Virginia Tech (VT). I obtained my Master’s Degree at the Polytechnical School of University of São Paulo (USP), and my Bachelor’s degree is from the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (PUC-Rio). I have spent a semester as an exchange student in University of Wisconsin Madison (UWM), and a month in Boston at Kaplan International studying English. I have also graduated as a Metal-Mechanic technician in 2011.
I have been involved in many different projects, and have become very fond of Robotics. My current research interests are Robotics, Legged Locomotion, Optimal Control and Deep Reinforcement Learning.
