Improving clinical outcomes through technology
Welcome!
Our mission is to work towards improving clinical outcomes through appropriate use of technology. We are interested in biomechanics (both engineering biomechanics and sport biomechanics), biomedical engineering, computer integrated surgery, medical robotics and related fields. We run exciting research projects in these areas, generously funded by The Australian Research Council and other agencies. We collaborate with many leading institutions, including Harvard Medical School, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, AIST Japan and Fraunhofer MEVIS. Within these projects opportunities exist to conduct research towards PhD and MSc by research degrees. Our research streams are:
- Biomechanics of the Brain headed by Professor Adam Wittek.
- Computational Methods for Medicine headed by Associate Professor Grand Joldes.
- Vascular biomechanics.
We are located at arguably one of the nicest university campuses in the world.
I hope you will find our work interesting!
