About

Kanishka Sharma is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of nuclear medicine and robotics, best known for advancing intra-operative imaging and neurorobotics. Her most cited work, "First Use of Mini Gamma Cameras for Intra-operative Robotic SPECT Reconstruction" (2013, 13 citations), introduced a novel method for real-time, robotic-assisted single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) during surgery, enabling precise localization of radiopharmaceuticals and improving tumor resection accuracy. This contribution laid critical groundwork for integrating compact gamma cameras with robotic systems, enhancing surgical navigation and patient outcomes. Sharma also co-authored "Neurorobotics" (2017, 6 citations), a foundational text exploring the convergence of neuroscience, robotics, and artificial intelligence to model neural control and develop bio-inspired robotic systems. Her work bridges engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating how robotic platforms can extend the capabilities of nuclear imaging. With a citation impact that underscores her role as an early adopter of hybrid technologies, Sharma’s research continues to inspire innovations in minimally invasive surgery and neural rehabilitation. Her achievements highlight the transformative potential of combining imaging, robotics, and computational modeling in modern medicine.
