Kevin J. Otto's research focuses on the engineering and characterization of neural electrodes, the small implanted devices used to record from or stimulate the nervous system. A major theme is using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (a technique for measuring how electrical current flows through a material) to understand how these implanted electrodes perform and degrade over time in the body. His work also extends to related areas such as pain sensing in joints and gait (walking) analysis in animal models, often in service of understanding how implanted devices interact with biological tissue.

Publication output was relatively steady at 11-15 papers per year from 2017-2021, then declined to a lower but still active pace of roughly 5-10 papers per year from 2022 onward.
