Teaching, Supervision, Outreach

Presenting the CoWriter project at the London Science Musuem in 2015

I enjoy explaning my research and discussing how robots and humans are going to live together, be it during public events (like on the right, at the London Science Museum in August 2015), on the radio or by teaching and supervising students.

You will find below teaching resources I make available and all the students I have been working with over the last years.
