About
A. Santangelo is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of surgical robotics and medical education, with a primary focus on developing accessible, high-fidelity training solutions for robotic surgery. Their most impactful work centers on democratizing surgical simulation through innovative, low-cost user interfaces that maintain educational rigor. In their landmark 2024 study, "A novel affordable user interface for robotic surgery training," Santangelo introduced a groundbreaking design that significantly reduces the financial barriers to surgical skill acquisition, achieving 8 citations in its first year—a strong indicator of its immediate relevance to the field. This work addresses a critical gap in modern medicine: as robotic procedures proliferate, the need for scalable, cost-effective training platforms has become urgent. Santangelo’s contributions are particularly notable for their rigorous usability testing methodology, which bridges engineering design with clinical practice. By creating tools that make robotic surgery training accessible to institutions with limited resources, Santangelo is helping to shape a more equitable future for surgical education, where proficiency is determined by skill rather than institutional wealth.
