Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory At the Advanced Medical Technologies Laboratory (AMTL) we strive to improve the quality of life for people by focusing on medical mechatronics and surgery robotics design, tissue mechanics characterization and modeling, and tissue-device contact modeling.
In the area of biomechanics, our research includes tissue mechanical property characterization and modeling tissue-device interactions. In particular, efforts focus on tissue-device contact for in vivo robotic mobility. Medical device design research thrusts include surgical robotic-assist devices, surgical tools, and non-invasive sensory measurement devices.
Our research has been sponsored by the National Science Foundation (NSF), Conmed Electrosurgery and Medtronic. Current and previous students working with us in the AMTL have included NSF graduate research fellows, Fulbright Scholars, Whitaker International Fellows, and NSF GK-12 fellows. Our student researchers have received numerous departmental, college and university fellowships, travel grants and awards. Graduates from the AMTL are working as tenure-track faculty and research fellows at other academic institutions, design engineers at start-up companies, and research engineers at major medical device companies. |
