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.
