Meet our speakers, who are active leaders in the T.I.M.E. (Technology, Information, Media, Entertainment) areas.
Russell Taylor
Professor, Computer Science, Johns Hopkins University / Director, Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology
Russell H. Taylor received a B.E.S. degree from The Johns Hopkins University in 1970 and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Stanford in 1976. He joined IBM T. J. Watson Research Center in 1976, where he held various research and research management positions in robotics, automation technology, and computer-integrated surgery. In September 1995, Dr. Taylor moved to Johns Hopkins University as a Professor of Computer Science, with joint appointments in Radiology, Surgery, and Mechanical Engineering.
Dr. Taylor has a long history of research in computer-integrated surgery and related fields. In 1988-9, he led the team that developed the first prototype for the ROBODOC© system for robotic hip replacement surgery. At IBM he subsequently developed novel systems for computer-assisted craniofacial surgery and robotically-augmented endoscopic surgery. At Johns Hopkins, Dr. Taylor led the effort to establish the NSF Engineering Research Center for Computer-Integrated Surgical Systems and Technology (CISST ERC), and he has served as its Director since it was founded in 1998. In addition to his leadership of the CISST ERC, Dr. Taylor has participated actively across the range of its research, including the application of imaging, modeling, and robotics to applications in orthopaedics, percutaneous local therapy, microsurgery, radiation therapy, and minimally invasive robotic surgery. He is the sole author or co-author of numerous scientific publications, including (at one recent count) 55 peer-reviewed journal articles, 163 peer-reviewed conference papers, 12 book chapters, 28 U.S. patents, and one book.
Dr. Taylor is Editor Emeritus of the IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, a Fellow of the IEEE and the AIMBE, and a member of various honorary societies, panels, editorial boards, and program committees. He has received numerous awards for his work at IBM and for his subsequent research. In 2000, he received the Maurice Müller Award in “for excellence and leadership in computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery”, and in 2008 he received the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society Pioneer Award for “for pioneering work in medical robotics and in the theory and practice of programmable automation systems”. In 2009, he was elected as a Fellow of the Engineering School of the University of Tokyo.
