About
Dr. Katelyn King is pioneering the intersection of robotics and ophthalmic imaging, with a primary focus on overcoming the physical constraints of current diagnostic technologies. Her most impactful work addresses a critical clinical challenge: performing high-quality optical coherence tomography (OCT) on patients with involuntary eye movements, such as those with nystagmus. In her landmark 2024 study, "Active Motion Cancellation for Robotic Optical Coherence Tomography of Moving Eyes," Dr. King developed a novel robotic system that actively tracks and compensates for these erratic movements in real time. Using a nystagmus phantom, she demonstrated that her approach can stabilize the OCT imaging beam, effectively "freezing" the retina for clear, diagnostic-quality scans—a feat impossible with standard head-bracing systems. This work, already garnering early citations, promises to make OCT accessible to patients who cannot sit upright or maintain a steady gaze, including infants and the elderly. By merging control systems engineering with clinical ophthalmology, Dr. King is not just refining a tool; she is redefining who can benefit from advanced eye care.
