About
Jack Stevenson is pioneering the integration of focused ultrasound (FUS) into surgical robotics, with a sharp focus on miniaturization and precision. His key research areas span acoustic lens design, piezoelectric materials, and robotic-assisted therapeutic ultrasound. In his landmark 2025 paper, "A miniature FUS transducer based on an acoustic Fresnel lens for integration with a surgical robot," Stevenson addresses a critical size gap in existing transducer technology by developing a novel, compact device that can be seamlessly mounted on a surgical robot. His major contributions include a systematic evaluation of four piezoelectric materials for the driving disc and an assessment of additive-manufactured materials for both the acoustic lens and housing, demonstrating a practical path toward customizable, low-cost transducers. He also introduced a novel method for steering the focal zone, enhancing targeting accuracy without bulky mechanical parts. With 7 citations already, this work is gaining traction as a foundational reference for next-generation, robot-compatible ultrasound tools. Stevenson’s achievements are particularly notable for bridging materials science and clinical robotics, offering a scalable solution that could transform minimally invasive surgeries.
