Strasbourg, Grand Est, France
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolPaul Baksic is a medical robotics research engineer with eight years of experience bridging academic research and software development to bring surgical assistance technology toward clinical use. Holding a PhD in Medical Robotics from Université de Strasbourg, he combines C++ development, DevOps, vision and control algorithm implementation, and experimental pre-clinical setup work to translate prototypes into OR-ready systems. At Inria he contributes to the SOFA simulation framework while previously building and maintaining research codebases and robotic needle-insertion platforms at CNRS and ICube. Comfortable moving between hands-on lab experimentation and software engineering, he excels at stabilizing legacy code and integrating new simulation features to support reproducible research. Based in Strasbourg, he brings rare end-to-end experience—from Raman-based tissue studies to robotized interventional radiology—that helps accelerate medical devices from concept to pre-clinical validation.
