Confirmation Milestone: Loh Jia Quan 🎉

We’re excited to share that Loh Jia Quan (JQ) has successfully passed his PhD confirmation seminar!

Quoting his supervisor Vincent,

A bit less than a year after joining us, JQ successfully pass his confirmation today! JQ’s PhD is interested in developing methods to improve upper-limb rehabilitation post-stroke. Today he presented his progress to date which led to a conference paper to be presented in ICORR in May. He also presented his plan to extend this work to learn physical interaction between patients and physiotherapists.

JQ’s work sits at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-robot interaction, and physical therapy, aiming to create technologies that meaningfully enhance post-stroke recovery. We’re proud of the solid foundation he’s built already and look forward to seeing his contributions unfold.

Congratulations, JQ, on this important milestone!
