About

Veronika Ivanova is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, augmented reality (AR), and minimally-invasive surgery. Her work centers on restoring the critical sense of touch lost in laparoscopic procedures, developing advanced robotic systems and smart instruments that provide surgeons with real-time tool-tissue force feedback. Ivanova’s most cited paper, “An Advanced Robot System for Diagnostic and Therapeutics Tasks with Application in Laparoscopic Surgery” (2018, 14 citations), lays the foundation for her contributions to haptic-enabled surgical tools. She has also advanced surgical training through AR-based simulations, as demonstrated in her 2021 study (9 citations), which explores immersive environments for educating surgical staff. Her innovative portfolio includes a wireless ECG monitoring device integrated into modular robotic instruments (2023) and a smart laparoscopic instrument with multiple applications (2020). Most recently, she has explored integrating STEMM principles into laparoscopic training (2025), reflecting her commitment to interdisciplinary education. With a growing citation impact and a focus on practical, patient-centered solutions, Ivanova is shaping the future of safer, more intuitive minimally-invasive surgery.
