Martin Han

Martin Han is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Connecticut. His research focuses on developing advanced silicon-based microelectrode technologies for neuromodulation and neuroprosthetics, particularly targeting neurological diseases and auditory nerve damage. He leads translational efforts to implant devices in the cochlear nucleus for sound restoration and collaborates nationally by custom-assembling 3D multisite microelectrode arrays for cerebral cortex, brainstem, and spinal cord applications.

Key research areas include understanding the fundamental interactions between brain tissues and microelectrode materials, advancing neural interface technologies, and improving biomedical device design for long-term efficacy in clinical settings.
