Starting my PhD at UCL in medical imaging. Graduated from Brunel with a masters in mathematics. Classical singer and competition roboticist in my spare time.
Explore development of soft surgical devices in our usability study! We are testing a novel suction-based retraction device and are seeking user feedback from surgeons with robotic or laparoscopic experience. Contact aoife.mcdonald-bowyer.19@ucl.ac.uk
Being a judge advisor at VEX worlds for the third year in a row was amazing. We saw so many talented teams from all over the world. Can't wait for next season! (After a restful break) I hit 201k steps over the entire event

Dear @gregbeardsell, we just redeemed our half price coke, but the Möet's kinda finished us all off, should be an interesting second half ;). Lots of love from the choir's basses x

No autonomous surgical robots without synthetic data! Our latest paper introduces SARAMIS, the first large-scale dataset capturing human anatomy as 3D rendering assets for robotic assisted and minimally invasive surgery, to be presented at @NeurIPSConfshorturl.at/qTUY1 🧵
Big shoutout to the UCL chamber choir which I co-manage! Come check us out at our concerts on the 12th and 14th of December! instagram.com/uclchamberchoi…
Massive thanks to @PsychiaAlex , Matt and Josh for ref/judge/general expert of all things. And the mighty team Floppy (some of them) with other @KingHenrysDT roboteers. It’s not an overstatement that I couldn’t have done it without them. 👏👏👏👏👏

Happy to share passing my Ph.D. viva with minor corrections! A massive thank you to my supervisors Prof. @DanStoyanov and Prof. @SarahKSpurgeon, for the guidance throughout, and my examiners, Prof. Rodriguez y Baena and Dr. Thuruthel, for the great discussion!
Many congratulations to Keshav Iyengar from @WEISS_UCL@uclrobotics on the successful defence of his PhD thesis 'Deep Reinforcement Learning for Inverse Kinematics and Path Following of Concentric Tube Robots'
