About

Lian Xuan is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of medical robotics, neurointervention, and advanced actuation systems. His primary research focuses on developing MRI-compatible robotic platforms for stereotactic neurosurgery, addressing critical challenges in precision, stability, and real-time intraoperative feedback. Xuan’s most notable contribution is the invention of a hybrid pneumatic-hydraulic actuation system for MRI-guided robotic stereotactic neurointervention, a breakthrough that overcomes the limitations of conventional manual procedures. This work, published in 2025 and already garnering 5 citations, enables safer, more accurate biopsies, injections, ablations, and deep brain stimulation electrode placements by eliminating metal-based actuators that interfere with MRI imaging. By integrating fluidic power with pneumatic control, Xuan’s design provides smooth, responsive motion while maintaining full MRI compatibility—a feat previously hindered by electromagnetic interference. His research promises to transform neurointerventional workflows, offering surgeons interactive feedback and enhanced operational stability. With an emerging citation impact and a focus on translating lab innovations into clinical tools, Xuan is establishing himself as a key figure in the next generation of image-guided robotic surgery.
