PhD candidate at JHU, BIGSS Lab
Golchehr is a Ph.D. candidate of Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, advised by Dr. Mehran Armand. Her research focuses on the development of control methods for dexterous surgical robotic systems as well as the real-time shape estimation of continuum manipulators with emphasis on autonomous minimally invasive orthopaedic interventions. Golchehr is affiliated with Laboratory of Computational Sensing and Robotics (LCSR), and Laboratory of Biomechanical and Image Guided Surgical System (BIGSS).
Prior to that, She received my B.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering from Shahid Beheshti University, Tehran, Iran, and her M.Sc. degree in Mechatronics from Sharif University of Technology, Tehran, Iran.
In her free time, she enjoys hiking and swimming.
