CV:

Mohsen Mahvash is an Assistant Research Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Boston University. Currently, He is working on the development of a robotic system to perform surgery inside a beating heart.

 

Before joining Boston University, he was an Assistant Research Professor at Engineering Research Center for Computer Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (ERC-CISST) at the Johns Hopkins University. He was also a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University for two years. At the Johns Hopkins University, he developed a touch-based feedback for a custom version of the da Vinci telerobotic system from Intuitive Surgical, Inc.

 

Mohsen received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from McGill University. He started a company based on his Ph. D work to develop a high fidelity haptic feedback surgical simulator for a prostate surgery.
