Michaël Wiertlewski joined the Delft Haptics Lab on March 1st 2019. Until that time he was a CNRS Researcher with the Etienne-Jules Marey Institute at the Aix-Marseille University.
Michaël studies the mechanics linked to tactile perception. His approach lies at the intersection of the observation of tactile interaction with high precision devices, the design of haptic interfaces for reproducing realistic tactile sensations and the psychophysical study of human perception.
He soon managed to acquire a VIDI personal grant, and set up his own group: The Tactile Machines lab.
