About

Sarvesh Periyasamy is a biomedical engineer advancing the frontiers of noninvasive cancer therapy, with a focus on histotripsy—a novel technique that uses focused ultrasound to mechanically destroy tumors without heat or radiation. His key research areas include image-guided intervention, robotic-assisted ablation, and device safety assessment. Periyasamy’s major contribution is the development of an X-ray C-arm guided automatic targeting system for histotripsy, addressing a critical limitation of conventional ultrasound-guided approaches, which often fail to visualize deep or isoechoic lesions. This work, published in 2022, has already garnered 26 citations, reflecting its significance in the field. He has also led safety assessments of bronchoscopic microwave ablation for peripheral lung tumors using robotic-assisted bronchoscopy, a study with 12 citations that informs clinical translation. His 2023 paper on mobile C-arm targeting further demonstrates his commitment to improving procedural accuracy and accessibility. Periyasamy’s research bridges engineering innovation and clinical need, offering practical solutions for precise, noninvasive tumor targeting. His work is particularly impactful for students and researchers interested in the intersection of medical robotics, ultrasound physics, and interventional oncology.
