My research focuses on medical and surgical robotics, with a specialization in the control, sensing, and design of these advanced systems.

Control

• Investigating methods to increase the level of autonomy in different surgical robotic systems.
• Developing and applying (explainable) Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and Reinforcement Learning techniques for surgical robot control.
• Advancing teleoperation control strategies for surgical robots to improve precision and usability.

Sensing and Visualization

• Exploring novel sensoring modalities, such as fiber-optic sensing, for surgical applications.
• Developing strategies for multi-sensor data fusion to enhance perception and control accuracy.
• Using Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance surgical performance by providing intuitive visualizations and guidance during procedures.

Design

• Innovating new mechanisms tailored to surgical tasks.
• Designing and validating the performance of surgical robot systems to meet clinical needs effectively.
