About
Perry Ping Shum is a leading figure in optical fiber sensing, with a research focus on developing advanced sensors for curvature, force, and shape measurement. His major contributions lie in creating high-resolution, real-time sensing systems for applications in surgical robotics, mechanical engineering, and aerospace. Notably, his 2018 work on distal end force sensing using Fiber Bragg Gratings for flexible endoscopic robots addresses the critical challenge of haptic feedback in minimally invasive surgery, earning 35 citations. Shum has also pioneered curvature sensors using innovative structures like long-period fiber gratings in fiber ring lasers and single-mode-multimode-single-mode configurations integrated with microwave photonic filters, achieving exceptional resolution. His recent work on distributed curvature sensing via OFDR and helical weak gratings fiber bundles enables precise, real-time shape tracking for soft robots and interventional diagnostics. With a portfolio of highly cited papers, Shum’s research bridges fundamental photonics and practical biomedical engineering, making him a key innovator in smart sensing technologies.
