Senior🎓
Top SchoolHaoying Zhou is a robotics PhD candidate and visiting graduate scholar with eight years of experience building surgical-robotics infrastructure and high-fidelity simulation environments for the dVRK community. Based in Baltimore and affiliated with LCSR JHU and WPI-AIM-Lab, she leads projects spanning suturing automation, dynamic identification, smart teleoperation, and custom tool integration while maintaining both hardware and software stacks. Her work bridges hands-on experiments on physical dVRK systems with NSF AccelNet-grade simulators and user studies, and she has showcased live workshop demonstrations at ISMR 2024. Previous industry experience includes developing a DICOM-driven motion simulator at Philips that improved refresh rates 30×, reflecting her practical focus on performance and operator interfaces. She combines rigorous academic training (WPI PhD, Boston University MS, UC Berkeley exchange) with a knack for turning complex surgical-robotics research into reusable community tools.
