Biography
Additional Title(s)
- Assistant Professor, Ophthalmology
I am an Assistant Professor of Robotics and Ophthalmology at the University of Michigan, where I direct the Image-Guided Medical Robotics lab. My work focuses on image-guided medical robots with an emphasis on clinical translation. My interests include medical robotics, biomedical imaging, data visualization, medical device development, and real-time algorithms.
Research Interests
The Image-Guided Medical Robotics (IGMR) Lab advances state-of-the-art techniques in medical robotics and imaging. We combine a deep understanding of robotics, biomedical imaging, and clinical medicine to field medical robot systems with integrated image feedback that solves real-world healthcare problems. Our work closely aligns with ophthalmology and optical coherence tomography, but we seek general-purpose designs that apply broadly to medical interventions guided by real-time volumetric imaging
Research Areas:
Biomedical Computation and Modeling, Biomedical Imaging, Biomedical Imaging and Optics, Biomedical Optics, Biomedical Ultrasonics and Image-Guided Therapy
