About

Ting Yun Fang is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics and medical ultrasound imaging, with a primary focus on co-robotic systems and advanced 3D imaging techniques. Her most significant contribution lies in developing cooperative force control approaches for robotic ultrasound imaging, a breakthrough that directly addresses the critical issue of occupational injury among ultrasonographers—where 63-91% develop musculoskeletal disorders due to the physical demands of their work. Her landmark 2017 paper on this topic has garnered 15 citations, establishing her as a key voice in ergonomic medical robotics. Fang has also advanced the field through her feasibility study on high-resolution three-dimensional robotic synthetic tracked aperture ultrasound imaging, which proposes an innovative alternative to conventional 3D ultrasound systems that rely on expensive 2D matrix arrays or motorized 1D arrays. This work, with 4 citations, demonstrates her commitment to making advanced diagnostic tools more accessible and practical. By combining robotics, force control, and novel tracking methods, Fang is shaping a future where ultrasound procedures are safer for practitioners and more precise for patients, positioning her as an emerging leader in medical robotics.
