Research

I am working on developing meso-scale surgical robotic systems based on smart actuators and sensing. My research interests include continuum surgical robots, shape memory alloys (SMA), fiberoptic sensing, system control and characterization, etc.
I have been working on the development of a Neurosurgical Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (NICHE) robot, a steerable cardiac catheter for Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) diagnosis and treatment, and a Minimally Invasive Neurosurgical Intracranial Robot-phase II (MINIR-II).
