Research interests

Since January 2001 I've been developing the Precision Freehand Sculptor, a tool that lets surgeons cut bone accurately with a handheld tool. The PFS design emphasizes safety and less invasive surgery, while allowing greater accuracy for improved performance of replacement joints.

My advisors are Takeo Kanade and Hagen Schempf.

For more on projects I've done before, please see the work section of my homepage.

Research interest keywords
