¾ÅÉ«ÊÓƵ
Our research group brings together expertise across:
- biomedical engineering
- biofluid dynamics
- tissue regeneration
- device development
We investigate nutrient transport in biological systems—from blood vessels to plant roots—and apply biomechanics to understand and improve joint replacements and prosthetic design.
Our work also includes lab-on-a-chip technologies, biosensors for targeted therapeutics, and rapid diagnostic tools.
We are advancing tissue engineering and regenerative medicine through scaffold design, drug delivery, and high-resolution imaging with a focus on CT-based tissue histology.
Recent research directions include:
- cardiovascular modelling
- soft robotics
- integrated simulations to bridge biological function and engineered solutions
Maintaining skin health to improve pressure ulcer prevention in vulnerable patients
