Dr. Sameer Kishore

Programme Coordinator MSc Robotics, Middlesex University Dubai

Dr. Sameer Kishore is the head and founder of the Immersive VR Lab and programme coordinator for the MSc. Robotics programme at Middlesex University Dubai. His research interests deal with investigating the behavioural and implicit effects of having an illusion of body ownership over a virtual or robotic body that’s different from one’s own. Dr. Kishore completed his PhD at the University of Barcelona where he worked on developing systems that allowed him to investigate the implications of body ownership over remotely located robots and applying this technology to real-world situations.

Prior to joining the University, he was Head of Medical Rehabilitation and VR Innovation at Virtual Bodyworks, Barcelona, where he was involved in developing commercial VR applications for tackling personal and societal issues, such as domestic violence and treatment of phobias. His work has received widespread media coverage, including channels such as the BBC, The New Yorker, and The Guardian.
