M. Carmen Sánchez was born in Albacete (Spain) in 1990. She received the degree in Mechanical Engineering from Universidad Politécnica of Madrid in 2014. In the same university, in 2015, she received her MSc in Biomedical Engineering. Her Bachelor and Master thesis were developed in CSIC, in the Neural Rehabilitation Group. She is now starting her PhD in Mechanical Engineering and working in the design and development of actuators for assistive and rehabilitative lower limb exoskeletons.
