Biography
Daniel Franklin is an assistant professor at the University of Toronto’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering and the Ted Rogers Chair in Cardiovascular Engineering at the Ted Rogers Centre for Heart Failure. Professor Franklin received his doctorate in physics at the University of Central Florida, studying light-matter interactions and developing experimental optoelectronic technologies. As a post-doctoral fellow at Northwestern University, he worked with professor John Rogers in the fields of bio-integrated electronics and soft-matter photonics, developing novel bioresorbable materials, laser systems, and flexible wireless implants and wearables for hemodynamic monitoring. Throughout this work, professor Franklin has won numerous awards, including the Baxter Young Investigator Award and the Displaying Futures Award from Merck KGaA, Germany – the world’s largest producer of liquid crystal material. At the University of Toronto, professor Franklin’s lab combines optics, engineering and physiology to produce medical technologies for commercial translation in partnership with industry-leading semiconductor manufacturers.
