Sept 2025 – Present
- ·Built GPU-enabled surgical robotics simulation workflow for da Vinci Research Kit (dVRK), a research platform used in autonomous surgery development
- ·Designed and implemented neural network architectures to predict 6-DoF end-effector states based on surgical instrument telemetry
- ·Prototyped incision-closure tasks in NVIDIA Isaac Sim/ORBIT Surgical by setting up a reproducible Omniverse/Isaac environment for labeling and dataset construction
- ·Improved ML autonomy training reliability by diagnosing a preprocessing mismatch that reduced performance from -90% to 48% accuracy, enabling better learning and control
