Simon DunhamPh.D.
  • Assistant Professor of Electrical Engineering in Radiology

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. 

Lab Goals 

The Dunham Lab focuses on efforts to utilize combinations of soft materials, 3D printing, flexible electronics and soft robotics, in order to develop novel diagnostic and/or therapeutic technologies.  The lab leverages expertise and soft materials, image analysis, and flexible sensing to develop these tools.  While our more mature efforts are centered around treatments for cardiac health, we are beginning to explore more diverse applications of these technologies.
