Dr. Redwan Alqasemi earned his BSc, MSc, and PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering in 1994, 2001, and 2007 consecutively. He is currently a research professor at the University of South Florida's Mechanical Engineering Department and a lead researcher at the Center for Assistive, Rehabilitation and Robotics Technologies (CARRT). Dr. Alqasemi is a senior member of IEEE society, a senior member of the National Academy of Inventors (NAI), and a board member of the Lifeboat Foundation Scientific Advisory Board. He served as a panelist for several NSF/NIH programs and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Rehabilitation Research & Development Service (RRDS) program. He has published more than 200 technical papers in national and international journals and conferences in the field of robotics and assistive/rehabilitation technologies, and he is an Associate Editor for the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), committee member for IEEE Control Systems Society on Intelligent Control, and for MDPI Sensors Journal. His research interests include: rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, human-robot interaction and controls, virtual reality simulation, haptic interfaces, and brain-computer interfaces. His Wheelchair-Mounted Robotic Arm project was recognized by IEEE Robotics and Automation Magazine as one of the world's assistive robotic systems and compared it to 19 different systems worldwide. Two of the most visible projects he worked on are the Brain-Computer interface to control a robotic arm using EEG brain signal; and the Virtual Reality for Vocational Rehabilitation (VR4VR) to train persons with disabilities on job-related skills using immersive virtual reality environment with tangible objects. Dr. Alqasemi holds five full US patents, several provisional patents, and some of his work is ready for commercial use.
