Craig Takahashi has a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from the University of California, Irvine. He has design experience in both the medical device industry and in academic research. His research interests are robotics, biomechatronics, and human-robot interfaces. His Ph.D. research involved the use of advanced robotics to study motor learning and movement control in humans. He is presently developing a robotic system for applying assistive therapy to the stroke-impaired hand.
