About

Dinusha Zbyszewski is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical robotics and sensor technology, with a primary focus on developing force and tactile sensing systems for minimally invasive procedures. Her most impactful contribution is the development of MRI-compatible fiber-optic force sensors for catheterization procedures, a work that has garnered 133 citations and addresses a critical gap in interventional cardiology. By enabling real-time force feedback during cardiac catheterization, her research enhances physician precision while reducing reliance on harmful X-ray fluoroscopy, paving the way for safer, image-guided interventions. Zbyszewski also explored tactile sensing through an innovative air-cushion sensor design, demonstrating its feasibility for acquiring force information from soft tissue during robotic-assisted surgery—a concept that could restore haptic feedback lost in teleoperated systems. Though her publication record is focused, her work on MRI-compatible sensors stands as a foundational reference in the field, influencing subsequent advances in haptic feedback for surgical robotics. Her research remains highly relevant for engineers and clinicians seeking to integrate force sensing into next-generation medical devices.
