Biomedical Engineering Research Group
The Biomedical Engineering Research Group comprises researchers from various areas of expertise with a common goal: improve healthcare and the study of biological mechanisms.
The research group was set up in 2008 to bring together all researchers of the Division of Engineering with research interests in this area; to provide them with a forum to exchange new ideas; to promote closer collaboration between researchers within and outside the division and college; to advance the understanding of biological systems; and improve healthcare throughtechnology. This multidisciplinary team works in a broad range of topics, including:
-
Biomechanics.
-
Biomedical Signal Processing.
-
Dynamical behaviours of HIV systems.
-
Evolutionary mechanism based on the concept of biology.
-
Fluid-structure-interaction.
-
Haemodynamics, red blood cell aggregation.
-
Identification, modelling and control applied to drug delivery and physiological signals in anaesthesia.
-
Medical robotics and force feedback during MIS.
-
Nonlinear biomedical system dynamics.
-
Proteins unfolding.
-
Reaction-diffusion modelling for cell signalling.
-
Respiratory mechanics and patient ventilation.
-
Tool tissue interaction, force and tactile sensing
