Prof. Ervin Kamenar
Bio:
Ervin Kamenar is an Associate Professor at the University of Rijeka, Faculty of Engineering, where he lectures in mechatronics and robotics. He holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and M.Sc. and B.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Rijeka. He initiated and led the development of the Mechatronics and Robotics study program (2024) and currently serves as its Director. His research focuses on mechatronics, soft robotics, precision engineering, and Koopman-operator-based modeling and control. Ervin also serves as a consultant for AIMdyn Inc. (USA) on generative AI, dynamical systems, and Koopman-operator-based modeling and analysis. He has undertaken multiple visiting research appointments at the University of California, Santa Barbara, including a Fulbright Visiting Professorship. Recently, he was awarded a Croatian Science Foundation project, “Advanced soft robots: data-driven development, modeling and control,” which explores the application of soft robotics and Koopman-based methodologies in robotic rehabilitation systems.

Prof. Kenji Tahara
Bio:
Kenji Tahara received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (1998), M.S. in Information Science and Systems (2000), and Ph.D. in Robotics (2003) from Ritsumeikan University, Japan. He served as a Research Scientist at the Bio-Mimetic Control Research Center, RIKEN (2003–2007), before joining Kyushu University in 2007 as a tenure-track Associate Professor at the Institute for Advanced Study. He became a tenured Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2011 and was promoted to Full Professor in 2020. He was a Visiting Professor at the Learning Algorithms and Systems Laboratory (LASA), EPFL (2013–2014), and at the Manufacturing and Automation Laboratory (MAL), Stony Brook University (2017). His research interests include robotic manipulation, multi-fingered hands, force control, and soft robotics.
