Michael Wiertlewski

Michaël Wiertlewski is an Associate Professor in the Department of Cognitive Robotics at Delft University of Technology, Netherlands, specializing in haptic perception and haptic interface research. His work focuses on high-precision observation of haptic interactions, the design of haptic interfaces, and psychophysics of human perception. He earned his doctorate at Université Pierre et Marie Curie (Paris VI) and conducted research at Northwestern University's Neuroscience and Robotics Lab on the physical phenomena of ultrasonic friction modulation. He also served as a CNRS researcher at Aix-Marseille University in France and was awarded the Early Career Award by the Technical Committee on Haptics in 2017. His primary research interests include haptic interface design, the physical mechanisms of haptic perception, and the study of interactions between the skin and surfaces.
