Expanded Biography

Pierre Dupont received a PhD in mechanical engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He was a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences at Harvard University. He subsequently joined the College of Engineering at Boston University where he was a professor in the Departments of Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering. He is currently in the process of moving his group from BU to Children's Hospital Boston.

The BioRobotics Research Group (BRG) solves theoretical and practical problems in minimally invasive surgery. We specialize in medical robot and instrument design, development of imaging techniques for surgical guidance, modeling tool-tissue interaction; and teleoperation / automation of instrument motion. We utilize analytical tools from robotics, dynamics and control together with innovative design techniques to create successful solutions.
