About

Dr. Haykel Marouani is a leading researcher at the intersection of robotics, biomedical engineering, and STEM education. His work is distinguished by its practical, real-world impact—most notably in the development of intelligent autonomous-robot control systems for medical applications. His 2021 paper on this topic, which has garnered 19 citations, addresses a critical gap exposed by the COVID-19 pandemic: the urgent need for robotic solutions to rapidly scale healthcare infrastructure and manage infectious patients. This contribution positions him at the forefront of using robotics to enhance pandemic preparedness and healthcare delivery. Beyond medical robotics, Dr. Marouani is deeply committed to transforming engineering pedagogy. His highly cited 2022 study (10 citations) explores the use of platforms like Lego NXT and Arduino in situated engineering teaching at King Saud University. This work directly tackles the challenge of weak STEM foundations among Saudi students, offering a hands-on, contest-based approach to boost motivation and learning outcomes. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, Dr. Marouani is not only advancing autonomous systems but also shaping the next generation of engineers, making his research both technically innovative and socially transformative.
