About

Brendan Page is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, terahertz (THz) photonics, and biomedical imaging. His work centers on developing autonomous robotic systems for non-invasive, in vivo skin sensing, with a particular focus on diagnosing and monitoring dermatological conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, and skin cancer. Page's major contribution is the creation of the "PicoBot," a robotically controlled THz probe that leverages the unique properties of THz light—its high sensitivity to water content, non-ionizing nature, and sub-millimeter depth resolution—to evaluate skin health in real time. His 2025 paper, "Towards autonomous robotic THz-based in vivo skin sensing: the PicoBot," has garnered 11 citations, highlighting its immediate impact. In a subsequent work, Page demonstrated significant system modifications enabling the PicoBot to perform full in vivo imaging rather than single-point measurements, integrating a robotic arm with force-sensitive feedback for precise, safe contact. This innovation bridges a critical gap between laboratory THz spectroscopy and practical clinical deployment. Page's achievements represent a notable step toward automated, point-of-care dermatological diagnostics, promising faster, more accurate assessments of skin conditions without ionizing radiation.
