Director Receives Research Awards
Winthrop Professor Karol Miller has been elected laureate of Humboldt Research Award for his pioneering work in the field of biomechanics of soft tissues for surgical simulation, details here. He has also received vice chancellor's research award.
MICCAI CBM X Workshop 2015
Computational Biomechanics for Medicine X. A MICCAI 2015 Workshop, Munich, Germany, 5 October 2015
Mathematical modeling and computer simulation have proved tremendously successful in engineering. One of the greatest challenges for mechanists is to extend the success of computational mechanics to fields outside traditional engineering, in particular to biology, biomedical sciences, and medicine. The workshop will provide an opportunity for computational biomechanics specialists to present and exchange opinions on the opportunities of applying their techniques to computer-integrated medicine. For example, continuum mechanics models provide a rational basis for analyzing biomedical images by constraining the solution to biologically reasonable motions and processes.
Biomechanical modeling can also provide clinically important information about the physical status of the underlying biology, integrating information across molecular, tissue, organ, and organism scales. The main goal of this workshop is to showcase the clinical and scientific utility of computational biomechanics in computer-integrated medicine.

Robohub Podcast: Prof. Karol Miller
Follow this link to hear W/Prof. Karol Miller talk about medical robotics, mathematical models of soft tissue (brain, liver, etc.) that can be used for robot-assisted surgery by providing fast and accurate feedback and challenges in making surgery fully autonomous.
ISML Scholarship in Computational Biomechanics for Medicine
ISML Scholarship in Computational Biomechanics for Medicine will be offered to outstanding PhD candidates undertaking research in Intelligent Systems for Medicine Laboratory. It is open to both domestic and international applicants. The value of the Scholarship is A$10000 per annum. For further information contact ISML academics or visit UWA scholarship page.
Director Awarded for Excellent Research Supervision
W/Prof. Karol Miller has been awarded Teaching Excellence and Research Supervision by faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics, The University of Western Australia.
A New Article about Us
There is a new article in Engineers Australia Magazine about our research!
Another Award Wining Paper
Assoc. Prof. Adam Wittek and W/Prof. Karol Miller have been awarded Sir George Julius medal for their paper:
This trend-setting paper demonstrates and confirms the utility of engineering computations in image-guided surgery. The paper is ranked 10 among ~10000 biomechanics articles published since 2007.
Institution of Engineers Australia has judged this paper to be one of the most influential in the last five years.
Invited Talk at ETH Zurich 09/07/2011
On appropriateness of brain parenchyma modeling as biphasic continuum
09.07.2011, Miller, Karol
University News, 08/08/2011
Now the world’s most cited laboratory working in the field of brain biomechanics is set to revolutionise this surgery, to make the procedure easier and to improve patient outcomes. UWA’s Intelligent Systems for Medicine Laboratory is using biomechanics and computer science to transform risky soft-tissue surgery such as operations to remove brain tumours. The work is being trialled at clinical hospitals of Harvard Medical School in Boston.
Lab Director, Winthrop Professor Karol Miller, is the editor of Biomechanics of the Brain (to be published soon by Springer), the first comprehensive book on the subject. He said the lab had been awarded substantial funding from the National Health and Medical Research Council, the Australian Research Council and the USA’s National Institutes for Health.
