Jean Pierre Ndabakuranye

Jean Pierre (JP) earned an M.S. in Electronics Engineering from Hallym University (2016) and a PhD in Electrical and Biomedical Engineering from the University of Melbourne (2023). He is an expert in biomedical optics, optoelectronics, biosensing, electronic circuits and systems, embedded programming, and bio-photochemistry. His research harnesses photonics and low-noise electronics to build miniaturised point-of-care diagnostics across portable, wearable, and implantable devices.

During his PhD, JP established a strong track record in bilirubin sensing, developing novel strategies for monitoring in cirrhosis and neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. In 2022 he completed two applied R&D internships: at BrainConnect, contributing a low-power wireless telemetry module for an implantable neural-recording device; and at the Royal Children’s Hospital, engineering an optical sensor to detect bilirubin in neonatal urine.

Since 2023, JP has been a postdoctoral researcher at RMIT University, where he advances miniaturised optical–electronic sensing platforms for bedside, surgical, and remote monitoring. His work spans system architecture, low-noise analog front-ends, light–tissue interaction modelling, embedded firmware, and pathway-to-clinic validation. Across projects he emphasises rigorous measurement science, manufacturable design, and clinically relevant workflows to translate sensing from benchtop to bedside.
