Biomedical Engineering in Liverpool is home to world-class researchers in the fields of macro and micro-biomechanics and biomedical imaging. Subject Overview Our areas of interest are generally associated with four research tracks: material characterisation, numerical simulation, topography analysis and medical device development. Although we concentrate much of our effort on applications in ophthalmology, we have strong interests in other areas such as cardiovascular and orthopaedic applications. We carried out the first comprehensive study of corneal and scleral biomechanical behaviour where we characterised tissue hyperelasticity, hysteresis, anisotropy and viscoelasticity. We developed numerical simulations that embody the ocular globe’s important topographic and material behaviour features, and can predict ocular response to mechanical actions using custom-built analysis software. We have current projects on the automatic analysis of Optical coherence tomography scans and Videokeratography maps. Biomedical Engineering MPhil - 1 year Biomedical Engineering PhD - 2 years
