About

Zhuoliang He is a leading researcher in MRI-guided interventional robotics, specializing in the design and control of soft robotic systems for minimally invasive surgery. His major contributions center on developing novel robotic platforms that operate safely within the strong magnetic fields of MRI scanners, enabling real-time image guidance for precise therapeutic delivery. He has pioneered soft fluid-driven actuators and manipulators for applications including transoral laser microsurgery (144 citations), cardiac catheter ablation (54 citations), and percutaneous liver tumor ablation (46 citations). His work on a robotic platform for MRI-guided focused ultrasound (27 citations) and an interactive multi-stage positioner for stereotactic neurosurgery (21 citations) further demonstrates his breadth of impact. Collectively, his publications have garnered over 290 citations, reflecting the clinical relevance and translational potential of his research. He has also contributed a forward-looking perspective on the field in his 2023 review article. By addressing the fundamental challenge of integrating robotic precision with the unparalleled soft-tissue visualization of MRI, He is helping to define the next generation of image-guided, minimally invasive interventions.
