About
Simon de Lusignan is a leading researcher in medical robotics and haptic simulation, specializing in the development of advanced training simulators for physical examination. His work centers on creating robotic phantoms and soft robotic organs that replicate the complex, dynamic responses of the human body, enabling clinicians to practice palpation and tissue examination with unprecedented realism. A key contribution is the design of tunable-stiffness liver nodules and granular jamming-based organs, which can simulate pathological conditions like guarding and organ deformation. His 2020 paper on an abdominal phantom with force-sensing capabilities (27 citations) and his 2022 review on multimodal sensory feedback (18 citations) are foundational texts in the field. De Lusignan has also pioneered the integration of haptic, visual, and auditory feedback, and developed a haptic mouse that mimics muscle guarding. His surrogate model for real-time visualization of tissue stress (2022) represents a significant step toward data-driven training tools. With over 100 total citations, his work is shaping the next generation of medical education, bridging the gap between simulation and clinical reality.
