            Jaydev P. Desai, PhD, is an associate professor of mechanical engineering and director of the Robotics, Automation, Manipulation, and Sensing Laboratory at the University of Maryland, College Park. He received his doctorate in mechanical engineering and applied mechanics from the University of Pennsylvania. After a postdoctoral fellowship at Harvard University, he held faculty positions in engineering and cardiothoracic surgery at Drexel University in Philadelphia.

            Dr. Desai is currently the principal investigator or co-investigator on several National Institutes of Health and National Science Foundation grants in minimally invasive neurosurgical robotics, haptic-enabled mechanical phenotyping of cells, and data-driven, real-time surgical simulation tools.
