Light is all around us—simple, natural, powerful. But it’s not just for seeing, it can perform surgery. We have shown that laser light can be more precise than a scalpel in a surgeon’s hand!
SpectoVR turns CT/MRI scans into immersive 3D visuals in seconds, enabling precise surgical planning, real-time AR guidance, and clear patient communication—no data preparation needed.
We use a machine learning model to reconstruct missing skull anatomy from CT scans and generate a personalized implant design.
Our miniautre robot enters the body through a small incision, attaches to tissue, guides a laser to make precise cuts, then "walks" to a new spot to keep working.
Custom 3D-printed implants made directly in hospitals improve surgery precision, reduce wait times, and offer better fit—helping patients recover faster with safer, more personalized care.
Our newly developed miniaturized rotary encoder uses light and a mirror to track rotation: light hits a mirror, reflects through a slit, and creates a pattern on a sensor that reveals the angle of rotation.
We develop smart biological tools—like 3D-printed scaffolds and biosensors—to repair tissue, test treatments, and bring innovative, patient-ready solutions into the clinic and operating room.
