Academic Achievements
- Holds over 30 patents and patent applications, which have been licensed by startups such as Activ Surgical and PeriCor, as well as industry leaders like Siemens, Philips, and Intuitive Surgical. His team's Smart Tissue Autonomous Robot (STAR) made international news in early 2022 for performing laparoscopic surgery on the soft tissue of a pig without human guidance, marking a significant step towards fully automated surgery on humans.
Research Experience
- Currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University with a secondary appointment in Computer Science. Leads the Intelligent Medical Robotic Systems and Equipment (IMERSE) Lab, focusing on developing new technologies that increase the smartness and autonomy of medical robots to perform previously impossible tasks, improve efficiency, and ultimately enhance patient outcomes.
Education
- Ph.D., Johns Hopkins University (2008), in Mechanical Engineering, advisor information not provided.
Background
- Research interests include the research and development of surgical robotic systems, robotic tools, and laparoscopic devices. Projects involve autonomous robotic surgery systems, 3D printed patient-specific implants, and magnetically controlled microsurgery.
Miscellany
- Member of the Laboratory for Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR) and the Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare.
