Padraig Cantillon-Murphy

Biography

Pádraig Cantillon-Murphy is Professor of Biomedical Engineering at University College Cork, Ireland, academic member of Tyndall National Institute at University College Cork, and an honorary faculty at l'Institut de Chirurgie Guidée par l'Image in Strasbourg. He  graduated with a first-class honours B.E. degree (2003) in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from University College Cork, Ireland before completing his Master of Science (2005) and Ph.D. (2008) degrees at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His doctoral thesis examined the confluence of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic nanoparticle dynamics. From 2008 to 2010, he was a postdoctoral research fellow with concurrent appointments at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston and at the Research Laboratory of Electronics at MIT. This work examined the role of magnetics in minimally invasive surgical procedures. He is principal investigator at the  Biomedical Design Laboratory at UCC and Tyndall National Institute which explores novel device development in image-guided surgery and endoscopy. His current research interests include electromagnetic tracking and navigation in image-guided interventions, and surgical robotics. His teaching interests include electronic circuits, electromagnetics and biomedical design. He is a former Marie Curie fellow (2010-2014), a former MIT Whitaker fellow (2007-08), a senior member of the IEEE, and an ERC awardee (2020). He has co-founded two start-up companies and is co-inventor on 6 patent applications.
