Abstract

Miniature sensors are poised to have a transformative impact on patient outcomes in surgeries and interventional healthcare applications in general. I will start this presentation by showing some relevant results on pressure and force sensors, focusing on their integration into surgical gloves as a means to enhance operative and instrumented births. Challenges related to sensor integration, constraints in maintaining surgeons’ proprioceptive feedback, and solutions to these issues will be explored. Following this obstetrics-based application, I will show a neurosurgical example where sensorised gloves offer a promising approach to advancing surgical training through real-time monitoring and deep learning-based skill assessment. We will discuss the possibility of this example as a case study for other training applications. Next, we will consider the development of flexible nanocomposites for oxygen and respiratory pattern monitoring. These innovations are particularly relevant for perioperative and critical care applications and may also have potential uses in regenerative medicine. Lastly, time permitting, I will present examples of an electrochemical sensing platform featuring nanocomposites designed for detecting biomarkers associated with sepsis and acute rejection in kidney transplants.

  
O prelegencie

Dr Manish K Tiwari is a Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at University College London. He received his PhD from the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). After graduating, he first did his postdoctoral research in the Laboratory of Thermodynamics in Emerging Technologies at ETH Zurich. After two years as a postdoc, he became a Group Leader in the same Laboratory and stayed on at ETH Zurich for two more years.

Dr Tiwari’s research focuses on physics of small scale transport phenomena with an emphasis on developing energy efficient technologies. He has published papers in high quality journals such as Nature Communications, PNAS, and Nano Letters. Some of these papers were also selected for unsolicited highlights in journals such as Nature and Nature Physics.

Dr Tiwari has given invited presentations and organised sessions in several international conferences in the area of thermal-fluid sciences. He is an European Research Council (ERC) Starting Grant Awardee and a member of EPSRC Early Career Forum in Manufacturing Research. He was part of the ETH Zurich representation to the prestigious Global Young Scientist Summit (GYSS) in Singapore in 2013.

He also received the Dean’s Scholar Award during his doctoral research at UIC, which is the most prestigious of the UIC doctoral fellowships, and a gold medal for his masters studies at Jadavpur University in India.
