معرفی
Dr. Michael I. Miga is the Harvie Branscomb Professor and Chair of Biomedical Engineering at Vanderbilt University's School of Engineering. He holds joint appointments in Radiology, Neurological Surgery, Otolaryngology, and Computer Science. As Director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) and the Biomedical Modeling Laboratory (BML), he leads interdisciplinary research in image-guided surgery, computational modeling for therapeutic applications, and soft-tissue biomechanics.
- Affiliations: Vanderbilt University School of Engineering, VISE, BML.
- Education: Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Dartmouth College (2001).
- Research: Focuses on enhancing surgical guidance through advanced modeling, including digital twins, augmented reality, and biomechanical simulations. His work spans liver, brain, breast, and kidney surgeries.
His lab develops translational technologies, such as the first FDA-cleared image-guided liver surgery system. He directs an NIH-funded T32 training program in surgery-engineering collaboration.
- Awards: AIMBE Fellow, SPIE Fellow; NIH Study Sections (BMIT-B, BTSS).
- Grants: Multiple NIH grants for image-guided interventions, tumor response modeling, and surgical training.
Current projects include computational forecasting for neoadjuvant therapy, vagus nerve stimulation modeling, and mixed-reality surgical navigation systems.
