Deepak Raina
I am a postdoctoral fellow at the Johns Hopkins Malone Center for Engineering in Healthcare
with Prof. Axel Krieger and
Prof. Muyinatu Bell. I earned my Ph.D. in 2024 from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Delhi,
with a significant portion of my research conducted at Purdue University as a visiting student. I worked under the guidance of Prof. Subir K. Saha and
Prof. Richard Voyles. My doctoral research was supported
by two prestigious fellowships, Prime Minister's Research Fellowship (PMRF)
at IIT Delhi and SERB-Overseas Visiting Doctoral Fellowship (OVDF)
at Purdue University.
Prior to joining Ph.D., I was a researcher at
TCS Robotics Research and Innovation Lab (Delhi) under the supervision of Dr. Swagat Kumar
and Mr. Rajesh Sinha. I obtained M.Tech at
IIT Jodhpur in 2017
advised by
Prof. Suril V. Shah.
I specialize in Robotics, Computer Vision, and Deep Learning, with a focus on their applications in healthcare.
In my doctoral research, I worked on autonomous robotic ultrasound system for diagnostic imaging. I developed methods for learning from expert's demonstration
to efficiently optimize the quality of ultrasound images during robotic scanning. I also developed several
deep learning models for analyzing the quality of ultrasound images and guide the robotic system. Notably, the telerobotic ultrasound system was devleoped
to scan trauma patients, with which 21 human trials were successfully conduted at a hospital in India. At the JHU Malone Center, I am advancing
robotic ultrasound techniques for pre-hospital trauma diagnosis and interventions. At TCS RnI labs, I developed robotic solutions for warehouse tasks, one of which was
patented and considered for commercial launch. My work has been published in top-tier conferences such as ICRA, CASE, ISMR, ROMAN as well as renowned IEEE transanctions like TMRB and TUFFC.
Beyond research, I enjoy staying active through badminton, strength training, hiking and running. Staying active and connected with nature keeps me energized and ready for research challenges.
