Hello, I'm
Éabha Murphy
Biomedical Engineering Masters Graduate (TCD)
I am interested in robotics, AI and technology and how they intersect with medicine and art.
About Me
I recently completed my Master's in Biomedical Engineering at Trinity College Dublin and am working part-time as a fullstack software engineer over the summer. I'm passionate about bridging engineering and design to improve people's lives and make healthcare more human-centred.
For my thesis, I developed a robotic haptic rig that applies textures to the hand to measure neural responses without muscle movement, deepening understanding of sensory pathways and potential rehabilitation applications.
Beyond engineering, I'm deeply drawn to art and creativity — I love drawing, collaging, and experimenting with animation, and I find inspiration in visiting galleries and reading about design, culture, and human experience.
