Assistant Professor

About Me

Dr. Wesley Roozing is an assistant professor at the Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) group at the University of Twente, The Netherlands. He received his PhD degree from the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) in 2018 and was a visiting student at the Australian Centre for Field Robotics (ACFR).

He is chair of the euRobotics Topic Group on Mechatronics, fostering interactions between academic, industrial, and other practitioners in the field of mechatronics. He has been serving on the programme committee of the European Robotics Forum since 2021, and as associate editor for IROS and BioRob since 2020 and 2023, respectively. He is participating in national and international projects as local coordinator and teaching several graduate and undergraduate courses on energy-based modelling and control of mechatronic systems.

His main research interests include (compliant) actuation and their control, motors and gearing, bio-inspired and biarticulated actuation, and energy-based modelling and control methods for safety in robotics. He organised several highly attended workshops on these topics. His work has been published in high-quality robotics publications including IJRR, T-MECH, RA-L, ICRA, IROS, and others, and received a honourable mention for the RA-L best paper award in 2020.
