About this position
This postdoctoral fellowship at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is part of the Interventional Radiological Imaging and Visualization (IRIS) program in White Oak, Maryland. The project sits within FDA regulatory science and focuses on technologies that are reshaping how medical devices are designed, assessed, and brought into clinical use.
The IRIS program addresses challenges across three connected areas: interventional and autonomous systems, extended reality technologies, and novel imaging validation and evaluation methodologies. The fellow will work on methods and tools for evaluating autonomous surgical robotics, mixed-reality medical applications, and phantom-based alternatives. The project emphasizes building specialized laboratory capabilities and expanding expertise for assessing emerging medical technologies with a strong regulatory and patient-safety focus.
Research activities include performance assessment methods for autonomous interventional systems, testing protocols across multiple technologies, and validation approaches that use digital twins and anthropomorphic phantoms to help reduce clinical trial burden. The learning environment spans AI navigation, robotics systems integration, real-time imaging, optical and x-ray system calibration, mixed-reality hardware integration, and evaluation methods for extended reality applications.
The fellow will also develop practical skills in imaging and navigation test object fabrication using additive manufacturing, tissue-mimicking material characterization, and multi-modal imaging protocol evaluation. The opportunity is mentored by Aldo Badano and Nirmal Soni at FDA CDRH, offering direct exposure to the agency’s medical device regulation and regulatory science environment.
This is a full-time postdoctoral fellowship with hands-on work in advanced medical imaging, autonomy, and validation methods.
