Shaun Salisbury graduated with a PhD from the University of Toronto in 2007. He was a professor at Western Univerity where he developed a research program in peizoelectric-driven stages, soft tissue property sensors and then in acuators and systems to be used in MRI-guided procedures. He has published extensively in IEEE Mechatronics and other journals and conferences. He also has 15 years of industry experience in large mechatronics system development.
