Tactile Perception by Electrovibration

Yasemin Vardar is currently a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Haptic Intelligence Department of the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. She is joining the Cognitive Robotics Department of the Delft University of Technology as an Assistant Professor in September 2020. She earned her Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Koç University in 2018, her M.Sc. from in Systems and Control from the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2012, and her B.Sc. in Mechatronics Engineering from Sabanci University in 2010. She worked as a Control Engineer at the Additive Manufacturing Department of TNO before her doctoral studies. Her research focuses on designing haptic devices and applications by considering the capabilities of human haptic perception. Yasemin has published her research at the top venues such as IEEE Transactions on Haptics and Frontiers in Neuroscience and has won prestigious awards, including the Eurohaptics Best Ph.D. Thesis Award in Haptics (2018) and TUBITAK Graduate Scholarship (2013)
