Melody Su

Melody Su is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Mount Holyoke College, specializing in medical robotics, computer vision, and haptics. Her research focuses on enhancing robotic teleoperation through vision-based haptic feedback, bilateral teleoperation, and 3D reconstruction techniques.

• Ph.D. and M.S. from University of Washington
• B.S. from National Chiao Tung University

Her recent work includes synthetic image generation for endoscopic tool segmentation, deep reinforcement learning for surgical camera adjustment, and NSF-funded research on perception complementarities in telerobotics. She collaborates with institutions like UW, RIT, JHU, and Trinity College.

Recent publications highlight trends in surgical robotics, endoscopic imaging, and AI-driven segmentation. Awards include an NSF grant (CRII: RI: RUI: 2101107) for haptic feedback research. She leads the Intelligent Medical Robotics (IMeRo) lab, mentoring eight Mount Holyoke students in ongoing robotics projects.
