About
Mohammad Matinfar is a biomedical engineer and researcher whose work sits at a compelling intersection of medical robotics, image-guided interventions, and precision radiation systems. He is perhaps best known for his foundational contributions to the Small Animal Radiation Research Platform (SARRP), a portable, image-guided system designed to deliver highly precise radiation to small animal subjects. His landmark 2008 paper on this platform has accumulated an impressive 361 citations, establishing it as a cornerstone reference in preclinical radiation research. The SARRP, which Matinfar helped design and calibrate, employs cone-beam CT guidance and robotic control to deliver complex, multidirectional radiation fields — capabilities that closely mirror clinical radiotherapy systems and thus provide a meaningful translational bridge between laboratory findings and patient care. Beyond radiation research, Matinfar has contributed meaningfully to the field of surgical robotics, developing an image-guided robot system for skull base surgery that integrates the Steady Hand Robot with commercial neurosurgical navigation technology. Across his body of work, Matinfar demonstrates a consistent commitment to engineering tools that enhance precision, safety, and reproducibility in both research and clinical intervention contexts.
