Kevin Otto is a the Dane A. Miller Head of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering at Purdue University and the principal investigator in the university’s Neuroprostheses Research Lab. He has published 69 papers in peer-reviewed journals, 42 refereed proceedings, five book chapters and three patents. He has supervised 17 doctoral students to graduation, is currently supervising five more, and has given more than 108 international, national and local research presentations.

Dr. Otto earned his bachelor's degree in chemical engineering from Colorado State University in 1997, and his master’s (2002) and PhD (2003) degrees in bioengineering from Arizona State University. From 2003 to 2004 he was a research fellow in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan where his work focused on brain-machine interface systems and implantable devices. From 2004 to 2006 he was a post-doctoral fellow in the Central Systems Laboratory in the Kresge Hearing Research Institute in the Department of Otolaryngology at the University of Michigan where his work focused on cochlear implants.

Dr. Otto’s research focuses on engineering neural interfaces for both research purposes as well as treatment options in neurological injuries or disease. His research focuses on multi-channel implantable microdevices in both the central and peripheral nervous systems. These interfaces are being investigated for many applications including sensory replacement, cognitive functional therapy and neuromodulation for autonomic therapies.
