About
D. Marinov is a pioneering researcher in the field of laser osteotomy, specializing in the application of laser technology for precise, contact-free bone cutting in cranio-maxillo-facial surgery. Their major contributions include demonstrating that Er:YAG laser ablation achieves higher accuracy and promotes superior bone healing compared to conventional mechanical tools, as evidenced by their highly cited 2015 study (79 citations). Marinov’s work on robot-guided laser systems has been instrumental in translating these techniques into clinical practice, with a landmark 2015 study (64 citations) validating in-vitro and in-vivo feasibility in minipig mandibles. They also developed a novel direct calibration method for laser ablation systems in projective voltage space, enhancing procedural precision. By bridging engineering and surgical innovation, Marinov’s research has laid the groundwork for minimally invasive, robot-assisted osteotomy, reducing trauma and improving patient outcomes. Their findings, supported by cumulative citations exceeding 150, are widely referenced in both laser surgery and biomedical engineering communities, establishing them as a key figure in advancing contact-free laser applications for maxillofacial and orthopedic surgery.
