About

Maryam Kalvandi’s research lies at the intersection of robotics, ethics, and healthcare, with a particular focus on the ethical deployment of autonomous systems in high-stakes medical environments. Her most-cited work, “RoboEthics in COVID-19: A Case Study in Dentistry” (2021), has garnered 16 citations and stands as a timely contribution to the emerging field of roboethics. In this study, Kalvandi examines how robotic technologies were rapidly adopted during the pandemic to reduce viral transmission in dental practices, while critically analyzing the ethical implications—such as patient autonomy, data privacy, and the shifting responsibilities of human practitioners. Her analysis provides a practical framework for integrating robots into clinical workflows without compromising ethical standards. Beyond this paper, Kalvandi’s broader contributions include advancing discussions on responsible innovation in medical robotics, making her a thoughtful voice in a field often dominated by technical concerns. Her work is especially valuable for researchers and students exploring how emerging technologies can be deployed ethically during public health crises.
