Research Interests

Medical mechatronics, medical device design, surgical robotics

Mark Rentschler鈥檚 research is focused on fundamental understanding of key questions to enable intelligent medical devices and surgical robotics which are, in turn, setting a foundation for patient-specific medical care and ultimately leading toward an operating room of the future. These听efforts include design of novel surgical tools,听devices, and robotics; characterization and modeling of how these听tools, devices, and robots听interact with the patient; and听optimization based on these听models.听

Societal Impact

Through our research we strive to improve the quality of life for people by reducing surgical and medical procedure invasiveness, improving physician鈥檚 capabilities, and reducing overall medical costs.
