Soheil Kianzad

PhD Student

I did my master’s degree in Electrical engineering at the University of British Columbia. My research interests include HCI, designing haptic displays, robotics, and artificial muscles. I am currently leading the Handheld Haptic Technology project in SPIN to support force feedback "in the large".
