Biomedical Engineering
As biomedical engineers, we combine problem-solving skills and technical know-how, to generate technologies for people to stay healthy, and to diagnose and treat diseases.
We are world-renowned for our expertise in areas such as bio-sensing and cardiovascular analysis.
Our Biomedical Engineering discipline is a highly cross-disciplinary branch of engineering and touches on areas such as data science, machine learning, advanced computational design, and wearable technologies.
This ground-breaking 3D printed imaging device (pictured) can spot dangerous plaques that cause heart attacks to fight against heart disease. And it’s tiny - no bigger than a grain of rice.
Wide-ranging research
We are a key player in Adelaide’s BioMed City, which is one of the largest health precincts in the southern hemisphere and our knowledge spans topics including:
- Biomechanics and fluid dynamics
- Biomedical sensing and instrumentation
- Biomechanics such as the design and development of sports and health equipment
- Medical imaging and signal processing
- Medical devices, implantable biomedical integrated circuits, and neural engineering
- Integrated circuits and photonics for active health monitoring, diagnostic, and therapeutic purposes
We regularly collaborate across disciplines to achieve our research goals.
