Academic Achievements
- Developed various innovative technologies, such as using closed-loop control of a soft magnetic catheter to minimize contact during pancreatic cannulation; also created a miniature rolling robot for performing non-invasive 'virtual biopsies'.
Research Experience
- At the STORM Lab, research spans several fields of surgical robotics with a particular focus on applications of magnetic manipulation for diagnosing and treating life-threatening diseases; also exploring real-time localization techniques and designs of soft robots aimed at enhancing safety and cost-effectiveness.
Background
- Research interests include but are not limited to medical capsule robots, robotic endoscopy, soft surgical robots, affordable medical devices, and autonomy in robotic surgery.
Miscellany
- The lab is dedicated to improving the quality of life for people undergoing flexible endoscopy or laparoscopic surgery in settings with limited access to healthcare infrastructures through the creation of affordable and intelligent robotic solutions.
