About

Michele Murzi is a researcher at the forefront of robotic and minimally invasive cardiothoracic surgery, with a focus on enhancing surgical precision and patient outcomes. His work centers on developing innovative simulation and imaging platforms to improve the movability and efficacy of surgical robots, particularly in complex procedures like aortic valve replacement. Murzi’s major contributions include the creation of a low-computational cost stitching method for three-eyed endoscopes, which streamlines visualization in minimally invasive settings, and patient-specific virtual and physical simulation platforms that evaluate robot performance in single-access surgeries. These tools enable surgeons to preoperatively assess robotic constraints, reducing intraoperative risks and improving procedural safety. With his most-cited papers garnering 9 and 6 citations respectively, Murzi’s impact is evident in the growing adoption of simulation-based training and planning in cardiothoracic surgery. His notable achievements include advancing telemanipulation and motion scaling technologies, directly addressing the challenges of elderly patients with aortic stenosis. Murzi’s work bridges engineering and clinical practice, offering tangible solutions for safer, more effective robot-assisted interventions.
