Exploiting upper-limb functional principal components for human-like motion generation of anthropomorphic robots

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2020
Background Human-likeliness of robot movements is a key component to enable a safe and effective human-robot interaction, since it contributes to increase acceptance and motion predictability of robots that have to closely interact with people, e.g.

Application and interpretation of functional data analysis techniques to differential scanning calorimetry data from lupus patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
DSC is used to determine thermally-induced conformational changes of biomolecules within a blood plasma sample. Recent research has indicated that DSC curves (or thermograms) may have different characteristics based on disease status and, thus, may be ...

Functional principal component analysis (FPCA) on remote sensing data and longitudinal studies

, 2021
This dissertation consists of three main pieces of my Ph.D. dissertation, which shapes my research on multivariate functional data, change-point detection, asynchronous longitudinal data, and remote sensing data applications. The first project is motivated by NASA's first dedicated \ce{CO2} monitoring satellite, the Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2)
