About
Dr. Lea A. Moukarzel is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of gynecologic oncology and biomedical engineering, whose work advances both surgical innovation and biomechanical sensing. Her primary research areas include minimally invasive gynecologic surgery, robotic-assisted techniques, and wearable sensor technology for human motion analysis. Dr. Moukarzel made significant contributions to the field by demonstrating the feasibility of robotic-assisted laparoendoscopic single-site surgery in gynecologic oncology settings, a breakthrough that reduces surgical trauma while maintaining oncologic outcomes. Her comparative analysis of single-site versus multiport robotic hysterectomy with sentinel lymph node mapping for endometrial cancer provided crucial insights into surgical outcomes and cost-effectiveness, with her most-cited papers accumulating over 70 citations. Notably, Dr. Moukarzel has also ventured into biomedical engineering, developing wearable fiber optic sensors for biomechanical sensing via joint angle detection. This innovative work addresses critical needs in physical rehabilitation, professional sports, and performance arts by offering robust, miniature motion capture solutions that overcome the limitations of traditional sensors. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges surgical precision with cutting-edge sensing technology, positioning her as a versatile researcher whose work impacts both clinical practice and rehabilitation science.
