Darcy Dunn-Lawless is a medical device researcher, currently studying a Master of Biomedical Engineering at Flinders University. His work focuses on creating technologies for use in medical implants, specifically on the relatively new field of implantable ultrasound. With the support of his John Monash Scholarship, Darcy will pursue a DPhil in engineering at Oxford, to continue his development of a new implantable ultrasound device to monitor for tumour recurrence and improve bone healing in cancer patients. In 2021, Darcy presented the progress of this research at the Australian Biomedical Engineering Conference, and was awarded a MedTech Actuator Menzies Scholarship to support the clinical translation of his work. He has also tutored in engineering at Flinders University since 2019 and is a proud member of the Norwood Bears Volleyball Club.
