We develop therapeutic and diagnostic robotic instruments for less invasive and/or more accurate surgery

Our mission is to develop therapeutic/diagnostic robotic instruments for a wide range of medical applications. Our research typically focuses on the clinical problem first and works with surgeons and clinicians to determine the best devices and theoretical approaches to solve it, which may be new robots or novel algorithms.

Background

I joined the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh in 2018. Previously I was a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Wellcome/EPSRC Centre for Interventional and Surgical Sciences, University College London. I received my PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Alberta, Canada in 2017, my MSc in Biomechanics from the Sharif University of Technology, Iran, in 2013, and my BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran, in 2010.

Research Overview

My research interests are in surgical robotics and image-guided therapies. My research typically focuses on the clinical problem first, and work with surgeon collaborators to determine the best devices and theoretical approaches to solve it, which may be new robots or novel algorithms. Our projects typically involve the design and modelling of robotic systems for less invasive and/or more accurate surgery, developing control strategies for inner body manipulation of the surgical robots, and fusing image guidance to help the surgeon perform surgery more accurately. My main research topics are:

  • Surgical Robotics and Image-guided Therapies
  • Continuum and Flexible Robots
  • Mechanics-based Modeling and Simulation
  • Applications of Control Theory in Robotics

Research Theme
