About

Marius Briel is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, ophthalmic surgery, and advanced imaging. His work focuses on developing intelligent robotic systems for vitreoretinal surgery—among the most delicate microsurgical procedures in medicine. Briel’s major contributions include the creation of intraoperative adaptive eye models using instrument-integrated Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), enabling real-time, high-precision anatomical mapping during surgery. He also developed the GEYEDANCE platform, a multi-modal feedback system that enhances robotic assistance for novice surgeons while ensuring patient safety. His research on curvature-corrected retinal registration aligns diagnostic OCT images with intraoperative views, improving visual perception of critical anatomical features. Additionally, Briel introduced a distance-based shared control system for telemanipulated endolaser photocoagulation, addressing the challenge of precise instrument control in a limited workspace. With his most-cited papers from 2025 already accumulating citations, Briel is rapidly establishing himself as a key innovator in robot-assisted ophthalmic surgery, pushing the boundaries of what is possible in microscale tissue manipulation and surgical automation.
