Troy Baker is a PhD student in the Soft Mechatronics for Biorobotics Lab at Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna, Pisa. He earned a Masters of Research in Bioengineering from Imperial College London and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Maryland Baltimore County. At Imperial, Troy did research with electro-static actuators and volunteered with the university’s prosthetic society. His research goals involve embodied intelligence in the design of bio-inspired robotics. Troy works under the Marie Curie funded Maestri project to develop actuators for demonstrating the use of magnetic materials in robotics.
