This project proposes to develop novel core technology and microsurgical tools with unique capability, as well as integrate computer assist systems. The effort will generate a computer assisted human user with enhanced microsurgical ability. | | Role | Principal Investigator | ^ **Title** ^ **Active Multi-Spectral Illumination for Video Microscopy and Endoscopy** ^ | Dates | 9/1/2008-6/30/2010 | | Grantor | Equinox Corp. | | Award amount | $149,998 | | Summary | This is a small project to explore active illumination schemes for endoscopy and microscopy | | Role | Principal investigator | ==== Completed ==== ===== WORK HISTORY ===== ^ **1995-now** ^ **Johns Hopkins Univ.** ^ **Professor of Computer Science, with joint appointments in Radiology, Surgery and Mechanical Engineering** ^ | Director of NSF Engineering Research Center on Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology. Current research interests include: computer-integrated planning and robotic delivery of optimized patterns of localized therapy; steady-hand augmentation of microsurgery and endoscopic surgery; image-guided orthopaedic surgery; medical imaging, modeling, and registration; and human-machine systems. ||| ^ **1990-1995** ^ **IBM Research** ^ **Manager of Computer Assisted Surgery Group** ^ | Technical direction and leadership for research group (5 PhD's, 1 Engineer, 1 coop student) in medical robotics and computer assisted surgery. Specific activities included orthopaedics, craniofacial surgery, image guided telerobotic systems for minimally invasive surgery, and image-based modeling and analysis. Set strategy and research agenda, contributed key technical ideas, participated/led in implementations and negotiated relations with outside organizations. Led successful effort to secure $2M NIST ATP support for a joint IBM/Integrated Surgical Systems project to develop system for revision hip replacement surgery, and subsequently was principal investigator for IBM’s part of the project.((Later was PI for Johns Hopkins' part when the project was expanded to include Johns Hopkins after I left IBM to join JHU.)) ||| ^ **1989-1990** ^ **IBM Research** ^ **Research Staff Member/Project Leader** ^ | Developed "Robodoc" a robotic system for precise orthopaedic surgery, and transferred it to clinical collaborators at the University of California at Davis and, subsequently, to a startup company (Integrated Surgical Systems, Inc..) for commercial development. This system is now marketed in Europe and is pending FDA approval in the US. Also, established a broader research program on medical robotics and human-machine augmentation and initiated joint work on craniofacial surgery with NYU. |||
