Associate Professor of Engineering, Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth
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.
