About

Ihab Abu Ajamieh is a pioneering researcher in the intersection of robotics, micro-manipulation, and biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on advancing assisted reproductive technology (ART). His most impactful work centers on developing automated, robotic systems for delicate embryo manipulation, addressing critical challenges in in vitro fertilization (IVF). His highly cited 2020 paper on "Automated Embryo Manipulation and Rotation via Robotic nDEP-Tweezers" (15 citations) introduced a novel, non-contact method using negative dielectrophoresis to precisely orient and rotate embryos, minimizing the risk of damage inherent in conventional pick-place techniques. This work is foundational for improving embryo handling safety and efficiency. Building on this, his 2024 study on "Precision ZP Perforation Automation" presents a vision-guided robotic approach for blastocyst embryo biopsy, automating the critical step of zona pellucida perforation for genetic testing. Additionally, his research extends to marine robotics, where he has explored cable-driven parallel manipulators for floating platforms, as seen in his 2022 study on workspace analysis. Abu Ajamieh’s contributions are driving a paradigm shift toward safer, more precise, and automated micro-surgical procedures in reproductive medicine.
