About
Hessam Roodaki is a leading researcher at the intersection of ophthalmic microsurgery, medical robotics, and advanced imaging. His work centers on integrating intraoperative Optical Coherence Tomography (iOCT) with robotic systems to enhance precision in delicate eye procedures. Roodaki’s major contributions include developing methods for precision needle tip localization and pose estimation using OCT, which are critical for autonomous subretinal injections—a key treatment for age-related macular degeneration. His 2018 paper on needle localization has garnered 30 citations, reflecting its foundational impact. He has also pioneered comparative studies of robot-assisted versus manual techniques, demonstrating in ex-vivo models that robotic assistance reduces retinal damage and improves injection success (17 citations). Notably, his 2024 work on uncertainty-aware visualization for human supervision of autonomous injections advances safe human-robot collaboration. Roodaki’s research extends to cataract surgery visualization and corneal transplantation, with his PASO dataset providing essential benchmarks for surgical instrument segmentation. His achievements highlight a commitment to translating imaging and robotics innovations into safer, more effective ophthalmic surgeries.
