Dr Eoghan Dunne is a a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway, an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Medicine, and a Principal Investigator within the Translational Medical Device Lab.
He received his BEng in Electronic and Computer Engineering (2016) and PhD in Electrical and Electronic Engineering (2021) from the University of Galway. His doctoral research focused on applying machine learning and electrical impedance tomography for bladder monitoring. During this time, he also conducted research in close collaboration with the medtech start-up Kite Medical.
Since completing his PhD, Dr. Dunne has contributed to several Disruptive Technologies Innovation Fund (DTIF)-supported projects and Enterprise Ireland Commercialisation Funds, developing the next-generation of medical devices. Some of these include pulsed field ablation systems for atrial fibrillation (AuriGen Medical), ablation monitoring technologies for lung cancer (Endowave Medical), and enhanced device platforms for chronic total occlusion (CTO) crossings (Versono Medical).
His current research focus is two fold: 1) on understanding how mechanical and electrical energy interact with biological tissue, and 2) on the development of new electromechanical medical devices, translating fundamental biophysical insights into deployable clinical technologies. He works closely with current and former BioInnovate Fellows to transform clinical needs into viable concepts and prototypes.
