About

Shiyue Wang is pioneering the integration of photoacoustic imaging into robotic surgery, with a focus on enhancing the capabilities of the da Vinci surgical system. Her key research areas include intraoperative imaging, surgical robotics, and augmented reality for minimally invasive procedures. Wang’s major contributions include the development of a laparoscopic photoacoustic imaging system that combines the high penetration of ultrasound with the optical contrast of photoacoustic imaging, enabling real-time visualization of subsurface tissues during robotic surgery. Her 2023 paper on an intraoperative photoacoustic image guidance system has garnered 16 citations, reflecting its significance in advancing surgical precision. Additionally, her work on an augmented reality measurement tool for the da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK) introduces a real-time distance measurement interface that enhances spatial awareness for surgeons. With a growing citation record and innovative contributions at the intersection of imaging and robotics, Wang is establishing herself as a key figure in the evolution of image-guided, robot-assisted surgery.
