About

Andreas Schoob is a biomedical engineer and robotics researcher whose work sits at the intersection of surgical robotics, laser microsurgery, and medical imaging. His research focuses primarily on developing advanced robotic and technological solutions for endoscopic laser surgery, with a particular emphasis on laryngeal and soft tissue procedures. Schoob has made significant contributions to the field of transoral robotic laser surgery, tackling persistent clinical challenges such as laryngeal reachability, precise laser focus adjustment, and the transition from traditional microscope-based techniques to accurate endoscopic ablation systems. Among his most impactful contributions is his involvement in the μRALP project and related micro-technologies for robot-assisted endoscopic laser microsurgery, which has accumulated 30 citations, while his preclinical evaluation of a robotic endoscope for non-contact laser surgery leads his portfolio with 36 citations. His 2019 work on assistive focus adjustment technologies (28 citations) addresses a critical challenge in optimizing energy delivery during surgery. Schoob has also advanced 3D surface reconstruction methods for microsurgical guidance and explored fiber-based Er:YAG laser delivery for endoluminal applications. Collectively, his research aims to reduce surgeon burden, improve precision, and ultimately expand access to minimally invasive robotic laser surgery for patients worldwide.
