Misgana Shewangizaw Chimsa

Software Developer Intern @ Flux Robotics 🧲

About

I'm Misgana , a biomedical engineer with an MSc in Biomedical Engineering, Biorobotics specialisation, from the University of Twente. I'm passionate about medical robotics, image-guided interventions, navigation algorithms, human–robot interfaces, and robotic control systems. My professional experience at Flux Robotics spans two complementary domains: surgical robotics navigation software and medical imaging pipeline development. On the navigation side, I build intra-operative interfaces in Qt with real-time robot control, image-to-robot registration, and clinician-oriented workflows. On the imaging side, I design and deliver end-to-end Python pipelines for clinical CT processing , segmentation, surface mesh generation, and vascular centerline extraction. My MSc thesis developed a registration-aware, image-guided navigation workflow for a mobile magnetic endovascular robot, validated on patient-specific vascular phantoms.Open to roles in medical robotics, image-guided intervention systems, and medical device software development.
