Ravi Hadimani, Ph.D.
CHIEF SCIENTIFIC OFFICER
Ravi Hadimani, Ph.D. has spent more than 15 years investigating neuromodulation, focusing on the challenges in the bioengineering field, such as the development of new TMS coil designs for focal and deep brain stimulation and the development of personalized computational, anatomically realistic brain models. Recently, his lab has been focusing on developing personalized anatomically accurate brain phantoms for experimental verification of stimulation procedures for TMS and DBS that are lacking in the market today. Dr. Hadimani has published more than 125 peer-reviewed journal papers in reputed journals and more than 275 conference papers at international conferences. He has received several national and international awards for his research contributions to the field of neural engineering and magnetic devices. Dr. Hadimani is inducted as a senior member of the US National Academy of Inventors and holds 17 current and pending patents.
Wesley Lohr, Ph.D.
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Wesley Lohr, (Ph.D.) has designed realistic anatomical models known as phantoms, or surrogates. He and his PHD advisor Dr. Ravi Hadimani have created RAM Phantoms to commercialize patents produced from their research. Some research initiatives that Dr. Lohr has been a part of include: Conductively Accurate Brain Phantoms for Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) Research and Training, Viscoelastic Human Brain Phantoms for Traumatic Brain Injury Research, Novel PET-Metal Fiber-Based Yarn Memristor as a Synaptic Device, Implantable Biocompatible RFID Tags for Healthcare Data Sensing, and Conformable Shielding Permalloy Composite for Controlling Field Profiles of TMS Fields.

About Us
We are a university spin-off company built upon advanced physical brain model technologies developed at the Biomagnetics Laboratory at VCU.
We design, develop and fabricate anatomically, electrically, and mechanically accurate synthetic brain phantoms of human, non-human primate, and rodent models. These platforms provide fully reproducible, physiologically relevant testbeds, enabling controlled experimentation while eliminating ethical constraints and biological variability associated with animal studies.
Our phantoms have been deployed across a range of applications, including Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS), traumatic brain injury (TBI) biomechanics, and Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE), supporting both fundamental research and translational device development.
