Amin Madani

Dr. Madani’s research focus is in surgical expertise and the use of technology to optimize performance in the operating room. He uses qualitative methodologies to investigate mental models, intra-operative decision-making and other constructs of expertise. This work serves as the basis for engaging in the design and development of new innovations to improve surgical performance, including platforms that incorporate artificial intelligence, computer vision, augmented/virtual reality, and simulation.

Dr. Madani collaborates with a multidisciplinary group of engineers, computer scientists, game developers and educational psychologists, who use a team-based approach to develop technology-enhanced learning environments and assess their impact on performance and patient outcomes.  Most recently, his team developed AI models (GoNoGoNet and CholeNet) capable of identifying surgical anatomy for intraoperative guidance and navigation on the surgical field.
