About this position
The FDA Interventional Radiological Imaging and Visualization (IRIS) Fellowship is based in the Center for Devices and Radiological Health at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in White Oak, Maryland. The project sits at the intersection of medical device regulation and emerging imaging technologies, with a focus on interventional and autonomous systems, extended reality, and novel imaging validation methods.
As part of this fellowship, the participant will contribute to an integrated regulatory science effort aimed at developing laboratory capabilities and technical expertise for evaluating autonomous surgical robotics, mixed reality medical applications, and phantom-based alternatives. The work emphasizes performance assessment methods for autonomous interventional systems and validation approaches designed to reduce reliance on clinical trials while maintaining patient safety and regulatory confidence.
The fellowship offers hands-on experience with AI navigation and robotics systems integration, real-time imaging technologies, optical and x-ray calibration, mixed-reality hardware integration, and methods for evaluating extended reality applications. The participant will also work with imaging and navigation test object fabrication using additive manufacturing, tissue-mimicking materials, digital twins, and anthropomorphic phantoms, contributing to multi-modal imaging protocol evaluation and related regulatory science activities within CDRH.
The mentors for this opportunity are Aldo Badano and Nirmal Soni.
