Biomedical Engineer & Prosthetics | E-036130
This expert is a world renowned Biomedical Engineer specializing in prosthetics. He received a BA in mathematics and a BAI in microelectronics and electrical engineering from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1983. After working as a control engineer in England, he moved to the USA and obtained his MS and PhD degrees in biomedical engineering from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. He has extensive experience working with lower and upper limb prosthetics research. His recent research is focused on the development an artificial hand replacement capable of true dexterous manipulation for use by persons with upper-limb loss. He covers all aspects of the problem ranging from neural control and sensing, mechatronic design and development, novel actuator technologies, and clinical deployment of these systems. He is currently the Director of the Biomechatronics Development Laboratory at a university in CO. He is also a Research Healthcare Scientist for a VA Health Care System, and holds Research Associate Professor appointments in the Departments of Bioengineering and Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation.
