Personal Statement
Research interests include orthopaedic device design, robotic/haptic orthopaedic surgery and experimental and computational hard and soft tissue mechanics. In particular, the application of
- poroelastic (biphasic) modelling,
- dynamic mechanical analysis,
- atomic force microscopy, and
- nanoindentation
of bone, cartilaginous tissue and tissue engineered constructs in fundamental and applied contexts, namely hip and knee arthroplasty and intervertebral disc biomechanics.
Expertise related to UN Sustainable Development Goals
