About

Dr. Jasmin Shimin Lee is a pioneer in the field of soft robotics for surgical applications, with a primary focus on developing intelligent, tissue-safe manipulation systems for microsurgery. Her most cited work, "A Hybrid Soft Robotic Surgical Gripper System for Delicate Nerve Manipulation in Digital Nerve Repair Surgery" (2019, 36 citations), addresses a critical challenge in hand surgery: the risk of iatrogenic nerve trauma from rigid metallic forceps. By designing a hybrid soft pneumatic gripper that combines compliant actuation with precise control, Lee demonstrated a novel approach to handling delicate digital nerves with significantly reduced compression forces. This contribution not only advances the safety of nerve repair procedures but also establishes a new paradigm for human-robot interaction in the operating room. Her research bridges mechanical engineering, materials science, and clinical surgery, earning her recognition as a leading voice in soft surgical robotics. With her work cited by engineers and surgeons alike, Lee is shaping the future of minimally invasive, patient-safe surgical tools.
