[8/1 11:54 AM] Banu Abdikadirova
Banu is currently a graduate student in the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at University of Massachusetts Amherst and a member of the Human Robot Systems Laboratory (HRSL). In the lab, she is investigating the human response to various interventions applied by wearable robotic devices and a robotic split-belt treadmill. In particular, she is studying if such interventions evoke long-lasting neural changes or if changes in observed behavior are solely due to the response of peripheral neuromechanics. Apart from that, she is also working on validating the experimental results by simulating interventions using existing locomotion models.
She received her B.S degree in Mechanical Engineering from Nazarbayev University, Kazakhstan in 2020, where she was a member of Advanced Robotics and Mechatronics Systems (ARMS) Laboratory.
Outside of the lab, Banu enjoys indoor climbing.
