Kofi Odame is an Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth College. Kofi’s expertise is in custom integrated circuit design, with a focus on low power, high performance mixed signal circuits for nonlinear and neuromorphic signal processing. This work has applications in low-power electronics for implantable and wearable biomedical devices, as well as in autonomous sensor systems. Some of his current projects are: a wearable device for lung function asthma symptom monitoring; a device for ambulatory, non-invasive monitoring of cardiac output; a miniaturized instrument for prostate surgical margin assessment.
