He holds a faculty position at Harvard Medical School and Mass General Brigham.[2]
He is known for his work in fields of Haptic technology, robotics, medical simulation, and surgical robotics.[3]
Biography
changeDe Novi was born and raised in Bernalda.[3] He graduated with a master's degree in Electronics Engineering. He later obtained a Ph.D. in Robotics and Control Systems from University of Bologna. He immigrated to the United States for research purposes.[4]
He completed his fellowship at postdoctoral fellowship at the Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital.[5]
Nine months after his appointment as faculty, De Novi became the Director of the Medical Device and Simulation Laboratory within the imaging department.[4]
In 2012, he founded Hintivision after patenting a technology for smart advertising. In 2014, he began serving as a Scientific and Strategic Advisor at ADM Tronics Unlimited, Inc., a medical device manufacturing company.[6] The same year, he founded Triotech Ventures, a consortium of American medical device companies.[1]
In 2016, De Novi worked as a Faculty Instructor at Harvard Extension School, teaching Augmented/Virtual Reality Rendering for Simulation and Gaming.[7] In 2018, he co-founded XSurgical Robotics, a company focused on developing surgical robots with the goal of achieving fully autonomous surgical procedures through the use of Artificial Intelligence.[8]
Research
changeDe Novi's academic research has primarily focused on computer-based surgical simulation, beginning with an exploration of graphic rendering technologies and the development of a comprehensive virtual reality framework specialized for surgery simulation from 2004 to 2013.[3] During his postdoctoral fellowship, he expanded his research to include real-time gesture analysis, task recognition, and augmented reality within the context of surgery simulation.[7][9]
