Research
Professor Quinn's research has involved working with inter-professional teams in developing haptic simulation for dental, medical, nursing and veterinary professionals. He has over 160 publications including being co-author of two books and has written six book chapters. Professor Quinn was the clinical lead in the HapTEL project funded jointly by the Engineering and Physical Science Research Council and Economic and Social Science Research Council UK for £1,225000. This project won several awards including a Medical Futures award in 2011 as well as KCL research project of the year.

Professor Sibylle Vital
O-Health-Edu
Université de Paris, France
This project is driven by three overarching strategic objectives: SO1: To provide a diagnosis of the current situation of dental education in Europe. SO2: To enable a shared understanding and a common vision of Oral Health Professionals' Education priorities for the future among all European stakeholders and policymakers. SO3: To define priorities for a strategic vision and support changes for oral health professionals’ education in 2030. Those strategic objectives will be attained through the production of 13 intellectual outputs. A Strategic Scoping for Evaluation of Oral Health Professionals' Education will be produced (O1). It will be based on a peer-reviewed literature and policy documentation review. This will give a clear and concise direction for the project.

Professor Margaret Cox
Haptic Simulation & Surgical Skills Education
King's College London, UK
HapTEL™Haptics is the study of human touch and interaction with the external environment via touch, so it is very relevant to practical training such as in dentistry. HapTEL is an award winning robotic project in dentistry that enables students to learn practical dental procedures in virtual reality. Originally conceived by Professors Pat Reynolds and Margaret Cox together with cybernetic teams from Birmingham City University and the University of Reading, the overall aim of the hapTEL™ project was to design, develop and evaluate a virtual learning system which includes haptic and synthetic devices. The near realistic systems replace older traditional manikins enabling the student to see an anatomical mouth in 3D, feel the different layers of a tooth when drilling, and hear the dental drill. The dental drill is on a robotic arm and stereoscopic screens produce the 3D image.
