Nelson Rosa is an assistant professor in the Mechanical, Materials, and Aerospace Engineering Department at the Illinois Institute of Technology. He is currently researching fundamental properties of legged locomotion with applications for biped robots. Nelson obtained his PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2018 from Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA. He then spent time as a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at the Institute of Nonlinear Mechanics at the University of Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany. His current research interests are in hybrid dynamical systems, embedded/computer systems, algorithmic design, and robotics.
