- Biomechatronics
Jean-François holds a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Université de Sherbrooke (Québec, Canada). He joined the Media Lab and the Biomechatronics group in September 2013 as a Master’s student. His thesis project, FlexSEA: Flexible, Scalable Electronics Architecture for Wearable Robotic Applications, consisted of developing a kit of modular electronics that speeds up the prototyping of powered prosthetic limbs and exoskeletons. Now, as a Research Scientist, he works on making FlexSEA available to a broader audience and he designs custom electronics to interface with biological tissues.
