Marcela Munera is an Associate Professor of Assistive Robotics at UWE Bristol. Her research explores the design and development of robotic devices, aimed at enhancing rehabilitation scenarios and improving human interaction and response assessment. Educated in Bioengineering at the Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia, Marcela furthered her studies with a Master in Mechanics of Materials from Ecole Nationale de Metz in France in 2011, followed by a PhD in Mechanics Biomechanics from Université de Reims Champagne Ardenne, supported by the FEDER Doctoral Grant. Marcela has a rich background in industrial research projects focusing on biomechanical assessments that relate to sports performance and injury prevention. Her research methodologies emphasize experimental studies, particularly on the vibratory dynamic responses of the human body to shock and vibration, as well as assessments using wearable sensors. Marcela has extensive expertise in areas like Socially Assistive Robotics, Rehabilitation Robotics, and Human-Robot Interaction, where she actively integrates participatory design and feedback mechanisms from stakeholders to enhance user experience and therapeutic interventions.
