Marco is a PhD student in Systems Design Engineering under the supervision of Professors Mark Hancock and Oliver Schneider at University of À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. Previously, he completed a B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering (2015) at Instituto Tecnológico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) in Mexico, a postgraduate diploma in Automation and Robotics (2017) at Centennial College in Toronto, and an MASc in Systems Design Engineering at À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ. In his research,ÌýMarcoÌýexplores the use of 3D physical propsÌýfor better interaction in virtual reality: "Imagine you could chop a virtual object with a 3D-printed knife, or imagine you could touch and feel the texture of an artifact in a virtual museum. With my research, I hope to take interaction in VR to a new level."
