Research output per year
I am a Biomedical Engineer with strong interests in the areas of medical instrumentation and physiological data processing. I had the fortune to work in Industry and Academia gaining knowledge and insights from both worlds.
My Lab is always looking for talented and motivated candidates for very challenging and rewarding PhD and Postdoc positions.
My research has always been focussed on understanding how biomedical engineering can help to improve quality of life and clinical outcomes. I am developing techniques and technologies for a wide range of applications: from wearable medical devices to rehabilitation treatments, from biometric recognition to driver safety.
Currently, I am investigating the use of proprioceptive stimulation (Whole Body and Focal Vibration) in healthy and pathological subjects with regards to motor functions and balance control.
I am also collaborating with various SMEs on the design, development and testing of cutting edge medical devices through our Biomedical Engineering Clinic.
Accepting PhDs in the following areas:
Medical device design and development area:
- Revolutionising eye care: combining OCT and optical-wavefront sensing for visual impairment prevention (in Collaboration with Optimec System ltd)
- Development of a Smart Glove for Remote Monitoring of Paediatric Limb Deformities (in collaboration with the Birmingham Children's Hospital)
Neuroscience and data processing
- Keep your balance: use virtual reality to analyse and improve postural control and motion sickness (in Collaboration with Reyjkavik University, Iceland and Rennes 1 University, France)
Biofluid mechanics
Arterial fluid mechanics and their influence on cardiovascular disease (in Collaboration with University of Canterbury, New Zeland)
