About
Dr. Afsaneh Mojra is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering, specializing in tactile sensing, haptic robotics, and thermal imaging for medical diagnostics. Her major contributions center on developing non-invasive and minimally invasive technologies to detect and characterize tumors, particularly in breast and brain tissues. She pioneered the use of artificial tactile sensing (ATS) and haptic-thermal robots, such as the "Robo-Tac-BMI," which can identify, localize, and characterize breast masses with unprecedented precision. Her work on intraoperative thermal imaging (ITI) for brain tumor margin detection, combined with artificial neural networks, offers a groundbreaking approach to maximizing tumor resection while minimizing morbidity. With her most-cited paper (36 citations) on brain tumor parameter estimation and numerous studies on breast tissue viscoelasticity and permeability, Dr. Mojra’s research has garnered over 180 citations, demonstrating significant impact. Her innovative integration of robotics, tactile feedback, and thermal sensing is advancing the field of smart surgical tools and holds promise for improving clinical outcomes in oncology.
