About

Dr. Sandeep Ramalingam is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics and public health, whose work has gained critical importance during global health crises. His primary research areas include medical robotics, autonomous systems for biohazard environments, and the application of robotic automation in clinical diagnostics. Dr. Ramalingam’s most notable contribution is his pioneering 2020 paper, "Can Robots Improve Testing Capacity for SARS-CoV-2?", which has garnered 20 citations and provided a foundational framework for deploying robotic systems to reduce viral transmission risks to healthcare workers. This work, published at the height of the pandemic, offered a timely overview of how autonomous platforms could safely scale up testing capacity while minimizing human exposure. Beyond this landmark study, Dr. Ramalingam continues to advance the field by developing robotic solutions that bridge engineering and infectious disease control, demonstrating how automation can enhance both safety and efficiency in high-risk medical environments. His research remains instrumental for students and engineers seeking to understand the practical deployment of robotics in public health emergencies.
