Anthropomorphic surgical system for soft tissue robot-assisted surgery (2016)
Thesis

Over the past century, abdominal surgery has seen a rapid transition from open procedures to less invasive methods such as laparoscopy and robot-assisted minimally invasive surgery (R-A MIS). These procedures have significantly decreased blood loss,... Read More about Anthropomorphic surgical system for soft tissue robot-assisted surgery.

Ethanol production from brown seaweed using non-conventional yeasts (2016)
Journal Article

The use of macroalgae (seaweed) as a potential source of biofuels has attracted considerable worldwide interest. Since brown algae, especially the giant kelp, grow very rapidly and contain considerable amounts of polysaccharides, coupled with low lig...
