About

Mohannad Al-Qubay is a biomedical engineer whose research focuses on the intersection of surgical robotics and auditory physiology, particularly the biomechanical effects of noise exposure during minimally invasive procedures. His most-cited work, "Noise exposure of the inner ear during robotic drilling" (2024), investigates the risks of acoustic trauma from robotic surgical tools, a critical contribution to improving patient safety in otologic and neurosurgical applications. By quantifying the vibrational and acoustic impact of robotic drilling on cochlear structures, Al-Qubay’s research provides foundational data for designing quieter, more precise surgical systems. Although his citation count is still growing—with 2 citations for his landmark paper—his work has already been recognized for its novelty in bridging robotics and auditory health. Al-Qubay’s contributions are particularly notable for their potential to reduce iatrogenic hearing loss, a largely unexplored area in surgical robotics. His ongoing efforts promise to shape safer robotic-assisted surgeries, making him a rising voice in the field of biomedical engineering and surgical innovation.
