About
Jiselle Havas is a pioneering researcher in medical robotics, with a primary focus on developing safe and effective autonomous systems for clinical ultrasound imaging. Her work centers on creating durable, tissue-mimicking phantoms—physical models that replicate human tissue mechanics—to enable rigorous testing of robotic systems that traverse the body's surface, particularly for breast cancer screening. Her most cited paper, "Development and Testing of a Durable and Novel Breast Phantom for Robotic Autonomous Ultrasound Systems" (2022, 2 citations), introduces a low-cost, long-lasting phantom designed to withstand repeated robotic interactions while maintaining realistic acoustic and mechanical properties. This contribution is critical for bridging the gap between laboratory development and clinical deployment of autonomous ultrasound robots, ensuring patient safety and system reliability. Havas's research addresses a key bottleneck in medical robotics: the need for standardized, reproducible testbeds that accelerate innovation without risking human subjects. Her work has been recognized for its practical impact, offering a scalable solution for training and validating robotic systems. By tackling both engineering challenges and clinical translation, Havas is helping to shape the next generation of autonomous diagnostic tools that could improve access to early breast cancer detection worldwide.
