About

Andrea Corvi is a biomedical engineer whose research sits at the intersection of microwave thermal ablation, robotic surgery, and organ perfusion technology. Her work is primarily dedicated to advancing minimally-invasive hepatic interventions, with a focus on developing novel devices that improve the safety and efficacy of liver resection and coagulation. Her most cited paper, “A new microwave applicator for laparoscopic and robotic liver resection” (2018, 11 citations), addresses a critical challenge in robotic hepatic surgery—controlling bleeding during parenchyma transection—by proposing a steerable, energy-efficient tool that enhances surgical precision. Corvi also contributed to the design of a normothermic perfusion system for ex vivo pig liver testing (2020), a crucial platform for validating new thermal ablation devices before in vivo trials. Her work on a robotic surgical system for microwave coagulation (2019) further underscores her commitment to integrating ablation technologies with robotic platforms. Though early in her career, Corvi’s research is foundational to the next generation of smart, robot-assisted thermal tools, offering tangible solutions to improve patient outcomes in liver surgery.
