Biography
Dr Brendan Kennedy is Professor in the School of Engineering at The University of Western Australia and Head of BRITElab at the Harry Perkins Institute of Medical Research. In addition, he is co-founder of OncoRes Medical and served as Chief Scientific Officer from 2017 to 2021. He received his PhD from Dublin City University in 2006. His doctoral thesis focussed on nonlinear polarization rotation in semiconductor optical amplifiers. His current research focusses on the development of optical coherence tomography and optical elastography and their application in a range of fields, particularly in mechanobiology, tissue engineering and surgery. He has published 1 book, 15 book chapters and >120 peer-reviewed journal papers and holds 44 granted patents from 8 patent families. He has won a number of awards including, in 2019, a West Australian 40under40 Award.
