I lost my brother to a ruptured #aneurysm abt 21 years ago. At the time, despite being quite aware of strokes, we’d never heard of an aneurysm & that too in a healthy man of 27y. Heartening to see progress that saves precious lives. Kudos to #Science.

Joystick-operated robot could help surgeons treat stroke remotely: The system could provide teleoperated endovascular treatment to patients during the critical time window after a stroke begins. mitsha.re/WqXf50IJPru

Some agree to review to know what the competition is up to Some do it as a favor Some do it to screw their competitors or enemies (don't tell me it doesn't happen) And... there are SAINTS who do it to improve science. Not sure that a system that's built on saints is sustainable

7/n. Better performances. While the neurosurgeon has been trained >4y for manual operation and only ~1h with our robot, the operation time with the robot is shorter. The robot also avoids multiple undesirable steerings which may be intrinsically unavoidable for J guidewires.

You never know who you're going to run into on campus. Happy Star Wars Day! #Maythe4thBeWithYou

We are thrilled to see four MechE community members honored on the annual MIT Technology Review Innovators Under 35 list: Yoonho Kim, Associate Professor Stefanie Mueller, Carlos M. Portela, and Hyunwoo Yuk 🎉 technologyreview.com/innovators-und…

MechE alum Yoonho Kim was named to MIT Technology Review's list of 35 Innovators Under 35. Kim, who is currently a postdoctoral associate in Xuanhe Zhao lab, developed a teleoperated robotic system that can wind its way through the brain’s vascular network. mitsha.re/nIe850JLQrK

June Huh, who was awarded the Fields Medal this morning, took an unconventional path into the world of mathematics. I had the privilege of profiling him for Quanta Magazine: quantamagazine.org/june-huh-high-…

Thank you so much, MIT MechE! I was extremely privileged to be part of this vibrant and intelligent community during my graduate studies!

I had this great opportunity to introduce our project at the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) in Los Angeles today. Thank you SVIN for such an encouraging award!

MechE alum Yoonho Kim SM '18 PhD '22, was named the inaugural "SVINovation Challenge" winner by the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology. Kim has been working with Professor Xuanhe Zhao on soft medical robots for teleoperated and autonomous stroke treatments.
