My research and teaching Interest is Computer-Assisted Surgery. This is a fascinating and complex field that covers medical imaging, image computing, scientific visualization, surgical planning and navigation, robotics, biosensors and, perhaps most importantly, integration of all these into workable clinical systems and translating them to clinical use. I further specialize in robot-assisted minimally invasive percutaneous (through the skin) surgeries performed under real-time image guidance, with primary application in the detection and treatment of cancer. Please visit my Laboratory for Percutaneous Surgery, or as we call it affectionately: the Perk Lab, online.

Biography - Those who have a high tolerance for boredom can read my CV in its ostentatiously long incarnation. The simple truth is that I have grown tired of maintaining several documents and instead I dump everything in one monstrous piece, including professional experience, mentoring, professional services, publications, patents, invited talks. Copies of my publications are available through the Perk Lab online.
