Lars Paulsen

I am a Master's student in Mechanical Engineering at UC San Diego, where I am advised by Prof. Xiaolong Wang on improving teleoperation methods and user control.

My bachelor's degree is in Mechanical Engineering from UC Irvine. There, I worked with Prof. Camilo Velez Cuervo on novel methods of 3D printing magnetic materials.

Research

I want to develop robots as dexterous as humans and improve their performance in highly dynamic environments.
