Accessibility & LanguageDr Eoghan Dunne
Dr Eoghan Dunne is a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at the University of Galway, Adjunct Lecturer in the School of Medicine, and Co-Director of the Translational Medical Device Lab (TMDLab).
His research focuses on the electromechanics of biological tissue and how mechanical forces alter electrical behaviour in living systems. This work aims to transform how electromagnetic energy is measured, delivered, and controlled in medical technologies.
His research programme has two core themes:
- Electromechanical biophysics of tissue:Understanding how deformation, pressure, and structural changes in tissue alter electrical properties across frequencybands. This work addresses fundamental limitations in current models used for electromagnetic sensing, ablation therapies, and bioelectrical diagnostics.
- Translational of electromechanical medical devices: Developing new medical technologies that convert these fundamental insights into practical clinical tools for sensing, monitoring, and therapy.
Dr Dunne’s work sits at the interface of engineering, medicine, and commercial translation. Across industry and academia he has contributed to the development of several medical technologies, including:
- Electrical impedance tomography systems for vesicoureteral reflux (Kite Medical)
- Pulsed field ablation systems for atrial fibrillation (AuriGen Medical)
- Ablation monitoring technologies for lung cancer (Endowave Medical)
- Smart crossing technologies for chronic total occlusion interventions (Versono Medical)
He has secured over €4 million in competitive funding from Enterprise Ireland, the Government of Ireland, and European programmes including ERASMUS+.
Dr Dunne has authored 32+ peer-reviewed publications, including work in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, and was awarded IEEE Senior Membership in 2026 in recognition of his significant innovation and engineering contributions to MedTech.
He works closely with clinicians, engineers, and BioInnovate Fellows to transform unmet clinical needs into new medical technologies, bridging fundamental biophysics and deployable healthcare solutions.
