About
Panuwat Chutivongse is a pioneering researcher in the niche but critical field of **robotic-assisted forensic pathology**, where he applies engineering solutions to reduce occupational hazards in autopsy procedures. His major contributions center on the design and development of a **robotic autopsy saw** for cadaveric skull opening—a novel approach that directly addresses the dangers of traditional oscillating saws, including bone dust inhalation, noise pollution, and traumatic injuries. By automating this high-risk step, his work aims to protect physicians and technicians during autopsies, especially in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. His most cited paper, "Robotic-Assisted Surgery for Cadaveric Skull Opening" (2021, 3 citations), and its precursor, "Design and Fabrication of Robotic Autopsy Saw" (2019, 2 citations), represent foundational steps toward safer, more precise autopsy methods. Though his citation counts are modest, the practical impact of his innovation is significant for occupational safety in forensic medicine. Chutivongse’s research stands out for its interdisciplinary blend of robotics, surgery, and public health, offering a tangible solution to a long-overlooked problem in autopsy practice.
