Anany Dwivedi has been a research associate at the Chair of Autonomous Systems and Mechatronics in the Department of Electrical, Electronic & Information Technologies at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg since June 2021.
Anany Dwivedi obtained his Bachelors in Electronics and Communication Engineering from LNM Institute of Information Technology, Jaipur, India in 2015 followed by a Masters in Robotics Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), Worcester, MA, USA in 2017. For his PhD, he joined the New Dexterity Research Group at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Here his work focused on decoding the myoelectric activity of the muscles of the human forearm and hand to enable dexterous manipulative movements in both real and virtual environments. He also worked on the development of electromyography-based frameworks for teleoperation and telemanipulation of robotic systems and investigated the use of other sensors and common control methods to improve the overall performance of the developed muscle-machine interfaces. While at the New Dexterity Research Group, Anany won first place in the 2020 Hackaday UCPLA Challenge on Assistive Device and also secured first place in the IEEE IROS 2019 Robotic Grasping and Manipulation Challenge - Manufacturing Track.

Stella is a scientist at the Chair of Autonomous Systems, Department of Electrical Engineering of FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg since January 2022.
Stella completed her undergraduate degrees in Interdisciplinary Visual Art and Psychology in 2016 at the University of Washington. She then joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan for her Ph.D. in Cognition and Cognitive Neuroscience. Her work investigates value-based decisions in the framework of bounded rationality through two lines of research: context effects in multi-attribute decisions and value learning through experience. Her research combines empirical experiments and computational models. Stella has also worked on how different types of information visualizations and presentations affect people’s attitudes and decisions in pandemic-related decisions.
She has received various university and department fellowships and grants during her Ph.D. including the Hough Summer Research Fellowship for Psychology & Ethics in 2020 and the Clyde H. Coombs Memorial Fellowship in 2019.

Gustavo Lahr is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Human-Robot Interfaces and Interaction at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy, under the project JL IIT@Leonardo. He received his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the AeroTech laboratory at the University of São Paulo, Brazil (August 2021), in machine learning applied to aircraft manufacturing assembly tasks using robotic manipulators in partnership with EMBRAER. He holds a Master's thesis, and a mechatronic engineering bachelor's from the same university (2017 and 2014, respectively). He completed an academic exchange at Fairfield University, Connecticut, USA, in the Automated Manufacturing Engineering course, where he obtained a certificate of studies in Automated Manufacturing (2013) as a CAPES (Science without Borders) fellowship. He spent six months abroad as visiting Ph.D. student at KTH, Sweden, at the Robotics, Perception, and Learning laboratory (2018). Research interests: industrial robotics, flexible automation, robotic manipulation, human-robot interaction.
