Projects

FHRI Innovation Grant: Development of Precision Laser-Assisted AIRO-x Knee Implant for Advanced Osteoarthritis

ArthroLase

Awarded a ~$500k innovation grant from the Western Australian Government's Future Health Research and Innovation (FHRI) program.

Optimising lasers for ablation of structurally complex solid non-metals (ARC LP21 Grant)

ArthroLase

This project applies advances in fibre laser technology to precision cutting and reshaping of structurally complex non-metal materials. Guided by material composition and response to mid-infrared light, it aims to provide accurate, high-rate ablation with minimal surrounding damage for aerospace and healthcare manufacturing.

Joint Resection Planning Agent for Robotic Assisted Surgery

ArthroLase

Supervisor for Jake Lorkin's thesis, presented at the 34th CEED seminar at UWA. The project developed the Joint Resection Planning Agent for AIRO's HAiLO system, determining bone volume removal, implant fit, and ablation guidance for robotic laser knee surgery.

OOFILE

Cross-platform C++ integration layer for forms, report writing, charts, and databases, including a record-oriented NoSQL database with built-in dBase III and IV compatibility.

Laser ablation for precision 3D bone shaping: beyond channel cuts

Optical Interactions with Tissue and Cells XXXV (SPIE)

Examines laser ablation with real-time bone surface sensing for 3D bone shaping. Tests on four ex-vivo human distal femur specimens achieved a mean removal rate of 0.151 ± 0.015 cm³/min without carbonization and surface accuracy of 0.28 ± 0.24 mm.

Wavelength weightings in machine learning for ovine joint tissue differentiation using diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS)

Biomedical Optics Express

Combines multiclass Fisher's linear discriminant analysis and linear discriminant analysis to identify ovine joint tissue from DRS data. The study achieved 100% classification accuracy across the full wavelength range and identified key differentiating regions at 370-470 nm and 800-1010 nm.

Evolution of surface morphology of Er:YAG laser-machined human bone

Lasers in Medical Science

Reports three-dimensional laser machining of human bone using a pulsed Er:YAG laser with chilled water, and evaluates the resulting interconnected cellular and channelled scaffold morphology using microscopy, spectroscopy, and micro-computed tomography.

Machine learning classification of human joint tissue from diffuse reflectance spectroscopy data

Biomedical Optics Express

Assesses DRS sensing for real-time robotic surgery. Supervised machine learning classified human joint tissue with accuracy above 99%, supporting DRS as a viable non-contact method for differentiating tissue during robotic orthopaedic surgery.

Inventions

Patents

Robot-assisted laser surgical system

A system for working biological tissue with a laser tool, positioning means, controller, stored program instructions, and input means that control positioning and tissue work.

An orthopaedic implant and a surgical orthopaedic system incorporating same

An implant with a bone-facing surface and engaging means that guide placement, promote bone integration, and secure the implant to a prepared bone surface.

Intelligent tissue classifier of bone and soft tissue

An intraoperative method that senses tissue response, processes it against a comparator, and uses historical data to predict and classify articular tissue state.

Implant fit analysis

Systems and methods for intraoperative implant fit analysis and longevity prediction using sensor data, tissue and implant morphology, historical outcomes, and corrective information.

Status Monitoring Method, Apparatus and System

Remote status monitoring for industrial and commercial process controllers, including a bespoke compression and encoding algorithm for industrial controller data.
