About
Dr. Mina M. Micheal is a leading researcher in the field of medical microrobotics, with a primary focus on magnetic actuation and localization for minimally invasive interventions. Her most impactful work addresses the critical challenge of clearing superficial blood clots using helical microswimmers. In her highly cited 2019 study, Dr. Micheal pioneered a method for the precise magnetic localization and control of these helical robots within in vitro and ex vivo models. By integrating an array of Hall-effect sensors with a precalculated magnetic field map from two synchronized rotating magnets, her system enables real-time position estimation and targeted navigation of the microswimmer. This breakthrough, which has garnered over 70 citations, provides a foundational framework for autonomous, image-free clot removal, significantly advancing the clinical viability of tetherless microrobots for treating vascular occlusions. Her work is instrumental in bridging the gap between theoretical microrobotics and practical, life-saving medical applications.
