报告摘要
This talk will give an overview of the recently established Bioengineering Initiative in the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Medical Center, Washington, DC, USA. The mission of the Bioengineering Initiative is to serve as an engineering research for the hospital and work with clinical partners to develop technology for minimally invasive interventions. The technology developments include medical devices, medical robotics, image registration and fusion, and image-guided navigation for pediatric interventions. The clinical applications include laparoscopic abdominal surgery, knee arthoscopy, craniosynostosis, ureteroscopy, and cochlear implant surgery. The institute includes scientists, radiologists, and surgeons that are dedicated to improving the precision and decreasing the invasiveness of pediatric procedures.
报告人简况
Kevin Cleary is a research scientist with over 15 years of experience in medical research. He is currently the Technical Director of the Bioengineering Initiative at the Sheikh Zayed Institute for Pediatric Surgical Innovation at Children’s National Medical. He received Bachelor’s and Master’s Degrees in Mechanical Engineering from Duke University, and completed a Ph.D. at the University of Texas at Austin in 1990. His dissertation research involved software development and computer graphics for robotic manipulators. He was then a postdoctoral researcher working in robotics at a Japanese research lab.
After several years working in technology positions at NASA (North American Space Administration) and the DOD (Department of Defense), he moved to Georgetown University in 1996 as an Assistant Professor, which marked the start of his medical research career. He was promoted to Associate Professor in 2001, and full Professor in 2010. When he left Georgetown to join a new institute at Children’s in 2011, he was the Director of the Information Systems and Imaging Sciences (ISIS) research center.
He was an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Information Technology in Medicine, and also serves on the editorial board for the journal Computer Aided Surgery. He was the president of the International Society of Computer Aided Surgery (ISCAS).
