About

Dr. Helen Mi is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ophthalmology and robotics, whose work is redefining the boundaries of microsurgical precision. Her primary research focuses on robotising vitreoretinal surgeries, a field where the demand for dexterity far exceeds human capability. In her landmark 2024 paper, "Robotising vitreoretinal surgeries," which has already garnered 21 citations, Dr. Mi systematically demonstrates how robotic systems can overcome the inherent limitations of manual techniques in complex retinal procedures. Her major contribution lies in translating theoretical advantages—such as tremor filtration, scaled motion, and enhanced visualisation—into practical frameworks for clinical adoption. By mapping the specific surgical manoeuvres that benefit most from robotic assistance, she has provided a roadmap for integrating automation into the operating room. Dr. Mi’s work is not only technically rigorous but also visionary, positioning her as a leading voice in the next generation of ophthalmic surgery. Her achievements have sparked growing interest among both engineers and clinicians, and her research continues to inspire new pathways toward safer, more effective treatments for blinding retinal diseases.
