BIO
Andrew specialises in structural biomechanics, and in particular the development of combined musculoskeletal and finite element modelling approaches. His most recent work investigates the application of optimisation strategies in structural engineering and skeletal biomechanics. He has a developing interest in bioinspired structures and the design of structural forms based on multiple environmental factors.
He gained his MEng degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Edinburgh in 2001. He went on to study Orthopaedic Engineering, gaining a PhD, titled Numerical Modelling of the Pelvis and Acetabular Construct following Hip Arthroplasty also from the University of Edinburgh in 2005. He spent a year as a Research Fellow at Edinburgh Orthopaedic Engineering Centre, before taking his post as a Lecturer at Imperial College London.
He is leader of the Structural Biomechanics Group. He is Learning Threads Coordinator for the MEng Civil Engineering degree course.
He has a particular interest in engineering education and completed his MEd ULT at Imperial in 2014, investigating Conceptions of Engineering Leadership and the Role of Universities in Developing Engineering Leaders as the subject of his dissertation. He is a regular contributor to the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Engineering Materclasses and Summer School workshops.
He is the Imperial organiser for the Parametric Engineering Course, taught by Arup and SimplyRhino at Imperial.
