About

Constantinos Goulas is a rising leader in the field of medical microrobotics, with a focused expertise in the wireless actuation and control of untethered magnetic devices for endovascular interventions. His research centers on solving critical challenges in minimally invasive surgery, particularly the precise navigation and manipulation of tiny robots within the complex, narrow vessels of the human body. Goulas’s major contributions include the first ex vivo validation of magnetically actuated intravascular robots in a clinical setting, a landmark study that has already garnered 18 citations since its 2024 publication. This work directly addresses the limitations of existing surgical tools, which often suffer from undesirable bending and lack of control. He has also pioneered novel approaches to helical propulsion at low Reynolds numbers, enabling gravity compensation and controlled swimming with a near-zero angle of attack. Most recently, his 2025 study on wireless mechanical and hybrid thrombus fragmentation demonstrated the efficacy of untethered magnetic robots for precise blood clot removal in ex vivo tissue, showcasing a potential breakthrough for treating thrombosis. Goulas’s work is paving the way for the next generation of autonomous, wireless surgical tools.
