About

Koena Mukherjee is a rising researcher at the intersection of bio-inspired robotics, autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), and nanomedicine. Her work centers on developing intelligent robotic systems for challenging environments, from the deep sea to the human body. Mukherjee’s major contributions include a comprehensive review of fish-like robots, which synthesizes decades of biomimetic design and sensor integration for underwater exploration, and a seminal classification of unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) into remotely operated and autonomous categories. She has also ventured into the frontier of nano bio-robots, proposing their use for targeted therapeutic delivery—a concept that bridges robotics with precision medicine. Her most recent work introduces an integrated guidance and navigation planner (i-GNP) that leverages image processing for autonomous underwater vehicle motion planning, showcasing her ability to combine hardware, software, and AI. With a growing citation record—her top papers garnering 4, 3, and 2 citations respectively—Mukherjee is establishing herself as a versatile contributor to both marine robotics and biomedical engineering, with a clear trajectory toward impactful, cross-disciplinary innovation.
