Dr. Lv's Website

Ge Lv joined the department in spring 2020 following his appointment as a postdoctoral fellow at the Robotics Institute, Carnegie Mellon University. His research mainly focuses on the design, control, and optimization of lower-limb wearable robots (e.g., exoskeletons and prostheses). The general goal of his research is to make these devices more agile and versatile to accommodate different human users and locomotor tasks. Ge Lv received the Best Student Paper Award of the 2015 IEEE Conference on Decision and Control, and he is a member of the Robotics and Automation Society and Control Systems Society of IEEE.
