About

Dr. Yuelei Li is a rising leader in robotic surgery and deformable object manipulation, with a focus on bridging the gap between real-world tissue dynamics and physics-based simulation. In their highly cited 2024 work, "Real-to-Sim Deformable Object Manipulation," Dr. Li introduced a groundbreaking framework that optimizes physics models by incorporating residual mappings, enabling more accurate and autonomous manipulation of soft tissues during surgical procedures. This approach directly addresses a critical challenge in robotic surgery—ensuring that simulated deformations faithfully replicate the complex behavior of living tissues. With 10 citations in just its first year, the paper has already garnered significant attention from the surgical robotics community. Dr. Li’s contributions are paving the way for safer, more precise autonomous surgical systems, and their work stands at the intersection of robotics, physics simulation, and medical innovation. As a researcher committed to translating computational models into clinical impact, Dr. Li is shaping the future of minimally invasive surgery.
