1. Getting a Feel for Tactile Space : Exploring Haptic Perception of Microtexture
Abstract : The present thesis is based on three studies that research different aspects of fine texture perception. The goal is to better understand the mechanisms involved in haptic perception of textures below 200 µm, also known as microtextures. READ MORE

2. Touching the Essence of Life : Haptic Virtual Proteins for Learning
Abstract : This dissertation presents research in the development and use of a multi-modal visual and haptic virtual model in higher education. The model, named Chemical Force Feedback (CFF), represents molecular recognition through the example of protein-ligand docking, and enables students to simultaneously see and feel representations of the protein and ligand molecules and their force interactions.

3. Model-based design of haptic devices
Abstract : Efficient engineering design and development of high precision and reliable surgical simulators, like haptic devices for surgical training benefits from model-based and simulation driven design. The complexity of the design space, multi-domains, multicriteria requirements and multi-physics character of the behavior of such a product ask for a model based systematic approach for creating and validating compact and computationally efficient simulation models to be used for the design process.

4. Users' haptic product experiences
Abstract : The visual aspects have always been of great significance and taken into account in designing consumer products. Other senses have been somewhat neglected as a result of this tradition. This thesis will prove different. READ MORE

5. Haptics with Applications to Cranio-Maxillofacial Surgery Planning
Abstract : Virtual surgery planning systems have demonstrated great potential to help surgeons achieve a better functional and aesthetic outcome for the patient, and at the same time reduce time in the operating room resulting in considerable cost savings. However, the two-dimensional tools employed in these systems today, such as a mouse and a conventional graphical display, are difficult to use for interaction with three-dimensional anatomical images.
