I am happy to share that I successfully defended my doctoral thesis at Aalto University, School of Electrical Engineering, Department of Electrical Engineering and Automation.

Artistic illustration of magnetic robotic manipulation across micro to meso scales.

My thesis, Control and Planning for Magnetic Robotic Manipulation Across Scales, focuses on developing control, planning, learning, and optimization methods for magnetic robotic manipulation in biomedical systems, from microscale particle manipulation to mesoscale magnetic capsule navigation.

The work explores how magnetic fields can be used to manipulate small, fragile, or anatomically constrained targets without direct physical contact. The main contribution is an optimization-based framework for making magnetic manipulation more precise, constraint-aware, and scalable across different physical scales.
