About

Milad Khorshidifar is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and ophthalmology, whose work is reshaping the future of vitreoretinal surgery. His primary research areas include robotic-assisted microsurgery, surgical automation, and the development of haptic feedback systems for delicate ocular procedures. Khorshidifar’s most cited work, "Toward the Art of Robotic-assisted Vitreoretinal Surgery" (2017, 38 citations), provides a foundational framework for integrating computer-integrated robotic systems into eye surgery, addressing the critical limitations of human tremor and precision in retinal operations. This seminal paper has become a key reference for engineers and surgeons alike, demonstrating how robotic assistance can enhance safety and outcomes in procedures previously deemed too risky. By systematically analyzing the challenges of current surgical robots—such as force scaling and real-time imaging—Khorshidifar has helped chart a path toward clinical adoption. His contributions are particularly notable for bridging engineering innovation with practical surgical needs, making him a leading voice in the emerging field of robotic ophthalmology. For students and researchers, his work offers a compelling vision of how robotics can transform even the most intricate surgical disciplines.
