Overview

From the investigation of treatments for osteoarthritis, and advanced electronic diagnostics, to improving the efficiency of mobile communications networks and developing new generations of sensors for use in fuel cells and medical devices, the Engineering Health, Technology and the Digital World   theme from Cardiff University  brings together Cardiff School of Engineering’s expertise in the fields of high frequency engineering and biomedical engineering.

By bringing together the research and training interests and expertise of the biomedical engineering related groups across the university, the work places Cardiff University in the forefront of medical engineering and enables it to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise.

Career

Examples of current work in this area include:

  • design, development and testing of orthopaedic implants
  • development of numerical models to analyse the movement of human joints
  • working with spinal surgeons to gain an understanding of the biomechanics of spinal instrumentation and spinal constructs
  • clinical trials to analyse knee function in order to characterise normal pathological and total knee replacement;
  • investigation into head injuries in infants
  • human body response to blunt and sharp impacts
  • design of wheelchair seats
  • robotics in rehabilitation
  • imaging in the cardiovascular field and novel applications of MRI and whole body scanners.

Programme Structure

Some of the key areas being worked on are:

  • establishing new RF design methodologies involving waveform engineering to address challenges imposed by high frequency SATCOM, radar and wireless communication systems
  • optimising simultaneously the digital base-band signal processing and RF functionality within wireless communication systems
  • developing new, interdisciplinary uses of microwave engineering, e.g. microfluidic sensors using miniaturised resonators
  • applying new concepts for signal and data processing of multi-sensor and multi-modal signals in the important fields of security, mobile/wireless systems and biomedicine
  • investigating fundamental properties of new magnetic materials, from bulk to nanoscale, and their applications for sensors and non-destructive evaluation, and to investigate the effects of magnetic fields on the human body
