For many years, my research has focused on all aspects of computer-integrated interventional medicine. Broadly, this research has included:

• Medical robotics;
• Medical imaging & modeling;and
• Complete systems for surgical assistance, image-guided surgery, and what I refer to as “Surgical CAD/CAM”.

An underlying theme (previous link) has been the basic insight that information-based technologies can have just as profound an impact on computer-integrated medicine as it has had on computer-integrated manufacturing.

Some of my current and recent research projects (previous link) include work on systems, medical robotics for microsurgery and MIS, statistical modeling and deformable 2D-3D registration, radiation oncology planning, and human-machine cooperative systems in surgery.

More information may be found on the web site for the Computer-Integrated Interventional Systems Lab.

You can find a (somewhat complete) list of my publications (previous link) in my curriculum vitae (previous link), which also contains links to .pdf files of many of my papers.
