About

Rositsa Mihaleva is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of biomedical engineering and laryngology, whose work focuses on developing miniaturized robotic systems for minimally invasive surgical interventions. Her most notable contribution is the design and validation of a novel hand-held robotic optical fiber for in-office laser surgery of the vocal folds, reported in her highly cited 2022 paper "Light in the Larynx." This breakthrough addresses a critical need in Laryngology by enabling precise, endoscopic laser procedures without the risks and costs of traditional operating room surgery. By miniaturizing robotic control and integrating it with optical fiber technology, Mihaleva’s work promises to expand access to vocal fold surgeries, improving patient outcomes and recovery times. Her research has garnered attention for its translational potential, with two citations already reflecting its early impact in the field. Mihaleva’s achievements exemplify how engineering innovation can directly enhance clinical practice, making her a rising figure in surgical robotics and otolaryngology.
