About

T. Shakir is a pioneering researcher in the field of robotic surgery, with a primary focus on standardising surgical training and optimising the human–machine interface. Their major contributions lie in establishing consensus-based protocols for robotic system setup, addressing the critical gap in heterogeneous training methods that currently exist between industry and clinician-led programs. Shakir’s landmark work, "Standardising robotic system setup: an international expert consensus," has already garnered attention with 2 citations, setting a new benchmark for reproducible and safe robotic surgical practices. Additionally, Shakir has explored the cognitive and perceptual challenges surgeons face when transitioning from traditional laparoscopy to robotic platforms. Their feasibility trial on 3D virtual reality acclimatisation, cited once, demonstrates that immersive VR training can significantly improve simulator performance, offering a low-cost, scalable solution to enhance spatial awareness and depth perception. This work underscores Shakir’s commitment to evidence-based innovation in surgical education. By bridging the gap between technology and human skill acquisition, Shakir is shaping the future of robotic surgery training, making it more accessible, standardised, and effective for the next generation of surgeons.
