Dennis KundratDennis Kundrat is a principal researcher and Head of Department in Medical Robotics and AI. At the Fraunhofer Research Institution for Individualized and Cell-based Medical Engineering IMTE, Lübeck, Germany, he leads two research groups on surical AI and training technologies as well as robotics and automation in surgery. He was a senior researcher in Medical Robotics in the Robotics and Mechatronics (RaM) Lab at the University of Twente, The Netherlands and a research associate with the Hamlyn Centre for Robotic Surgery, Imperial College London, U.K., where he paved the way for novel MR-compatible robots for endovascular interventions. Dr. Kundrat graduated with a diploma and doctoral degree from Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, with a dissertation on a novel dexterous robotic endoscope. He was a visiting researcher at the Italian Institute of Technology and femto-st, France in the EU project uRALP. His research has been published in top-ranked journals (e.g., IEEE TBME and Science Robotics) and has received the Best Robotic Design Award in the Surgical Robot Challenge. At Hannover Medical School, he pioneered Germany's first lecture on technology and knowledge transfer. His research interests include medical robotics, surgical navigation and imaging, as well as AI-assisted interventions in preclinical and translational evaluation. Read More Read Less
