Welcome to Aedan's website!

I'm a PhD student in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at UC San Diego, where I work on surgical robotics under the guidance of Dr. Tania Morimoto. I'm grateful to be supported by the Powell Fellowship.

Prior to my PhD, I worked on Johnson & Johnson’s next-generation surgical robotic platform, OTTAVA, and contributed to early development at Ictero Medical. I hold a Master’s in Bioengineering from Rice University, where I focused on Global Medical Innovation, and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Dayton.

My background includes experience in medical device startups, Biodesign, and sustainability-driven engineering.

My research interests include:
surgical robotics, path planning, continuum robots, and soft robotics.
