Short Bio

Jorge Juan Gil received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from the University of Navarra, Spain, in 1997 and 2003 respectively. His Ph.D. dissertation deals with control and stability analysis of haptic interfaces. He is one of the founding members of the CEIT Haptics Group and participated in the development and control of the LHIfAM Haptic Interface. In 2006 he was a visiting researcher at DLR Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics, Germany.

Currently, he is an assistant professor of Control Engineering at TECNUN (the School of Engineering at the University of Navarra), and a senior researcher at CEIT. His main research interest is robot control and haptic interfaces. In particular, he has experience in developing algorithms for haptic rendering, analyzing the factors affecting the stability of the haptic interaction, and characterizing physical parameters of robot joints.
