Professor Dunham’s research focuses on the use of soft materials, 3D printing and nontraditional electronic fabrication to realize novel biomedical technologies.  He has a B.S. in materials science from the Georgia Institute of Technology and a Ph.D. in materials science from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana.  His current research focuses on cardiac imaging, cardiac electrophysiology and airway interventions.

Bobak Mosadegh received his B.S. and M.S. in biomedical engineering from the University of California, Irvine.  He performed undergraduate and graduate-level research in Professor Noo Li Jeon’s lab, working on gradient-generating microfluidic devices. Dr. Mosadegh received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor while working in the lab of Shuichi Takayama.  His research involved developing microfluidic integrated circuits and various cell patterning methods using aqueous two-phase systems and microfluidic devices.  Under the guidance of George M. Whitesides, Dr. Mosadegh performed his postdoctoral training at Harvard University and the Wyss Institute of Biologically Inspired Engineering.  His research focused on developing two technologies, i) a 3D paper-based cell culture system for the study of the effects of ischemic gradients on cancer cells and cardiomyocytes, and ii) actuators and control systems for soft robotics. Dr. Mosadegh started as an assistant professor in the department of radiology, Weill Cornell Medicine (WCM), in Nov. 2014. He is currently an associate professor. He is a member of the Dalio Institute of Cardiovascular Imaging, and convener for the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) working group on cardiac occluders.

Alex Caprio obtained his M.S. in biomedical engineering from the Faculty of Medicine in Nancy, France. He subsequently had several internships and positions, providing him expertise in medical device development and testing. While at the Dalio Institute, he has acquired skills in 3D printing, image segmentation, image analysis, computer-aided design, soft robotics and stretchable electronics. He contributes to most projects in the labs of both Dr. Mosadegh and Simon Dunham.
