About
Bardia Konh is a biomedical robotics researcher whose work centers on minimally invasive surgical systems, robotic needle steering, and medical image-guided interventions. His research addresses a critical clinical challenge: achieving precise, real-time needle placement during percutaneous procedures such as prostate biopsy, brachytherapy, thermal ablation, and drug delivery — applications where millimeter-level accuracy can be the difference between effective treatment and missed diagnosis. Konh's most impactful contribution integrates robot-assisted ultrasound tracking with 3D needle shape prediction to enable real-time needle tip localization during steering procedures, earning 28 citations and representing a meaningful advance in intraoperative guidance. His broader body of work encompasses the design of novel active and tendon-driven flexible needles, kinematics and mechanics-based modeling frameworks, motion planning using rapidly-exploring random trees, and both teleoperated and automated robotic control systems. His targeted prostate biopsy platform, developed across multiple publications, exemplifies his translational approach — bridging sophisticated engineering with direct clinical utility. With over 110 cumulative citations across a focused and coherent research portfolio, Konh has established himself as a productive voice in surgical robotics, offering students and fellow researchers a rich foundation in smart needle systems and image-guided robotic intervention.
