Biography

Hello, I’m Lendy! I am a 3rd year PhD candidate in the Sensor-based Robotics and Human Interaction (Rainbow) team at INSA Rennes and IRISA in Rennes, France.

I am passionate about haptics, and especially about the rendering and perception of ultrasound mid-air haptic feedback. I am also interested in virtual reality, human-computer interactions, and perception in general.

I am currently pursuing a PhD about the design of coupling schemes for ultrasound haptic rendering in virtual reality, under the supervision of Maud Marchal (INSA Rennes, IUF) and Claudio Pacchierotti (CNRS).
