Manish Chauhan is the Lecturer in Medical Engineering at the School of Physics, Engineering and Technology. He has actively participated in performing interdisciplinary research in molecular biology (bacterial studies), quantum physics (ultra-fast photonics, spectroscopy etc.) and clinical trials (work with cancer tissues/patients, animal, cadaver and simulator-based testing). He has consistently tried to conjoin results from interdisciplinary activities into robotics research.
Prior to his current role, he was a Marie Curie Fellow at the STORM Lab in the School of Electronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Leeds where he actively participated in research at the National Centre for Robotic Engineering and Applications. His PhD degree in Bioengineering Robotics was awarded at the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy in 2017, which involved developing teleoperated microsurgical forceps for vocal cord surgery. His areas of expertise are in soft robotics, optical imaging, bio-imaging and optical fibres, mechatronics, novel materials, mri technology and data analytics.James Chandler is the Lecturer in Surgical Robotics and part of the Science and Technologies of Robotics in Medicine (STORM) Lab in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, at the University of Leeds. He completed his Ph.D. in surgical sensing for intraoperative identification of cancer and is currently working on the development and translation of low-cost, soft robotic technology for endoluminal diagnostic and surgical applications. His research interests include magnetic, fluidic, and mechanical soft and continuum robotic systems for surgery, atraumatic tissue interaction, affordable medical devices and sensing technology for identifying tissue disease. |
