Personal profile
Biography
I have a BEng (2005) and PhD (2009), both in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Limerick, Ireland. I am Head of Vascular Engineering ( Vasclab ) at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research and Senior Lecturer in the School of Mechanical and Chemical Engineering at UWA. I am also a NHMRC RD Wright Biomedical Fellow, since 2014 and Honorary Fellow of the University of Edinburgh since 2010.
My research focusses primarily on cardiovascular health and disease, and my group uses cutting-edge engineering techniques to improve patient outcomes across a range of cardiovascular areas such as aneurysms, dissection, coronary artery disease, placenta vasculature and retinal vasculature.
I am a founding member of the BioZone – a WA initiative aimed at convergent science to accelerate discovery and translation in biomedical and bioengineering research. In 2016, I took over the leadership (with Brendan Kennedy and Tim Sercombe) of the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics Bioengineering Network and most recently relocated my group to the Perkins to establish the Biomedical Engineering@Perkins initiative.
