RESEARCH

Computational Biomechanics
Subject-specific modelling
Within the musculoskeletal research topic, a primary interest consists in developing computational techniques to create personalized musculoskeletal models from segmented bone and muscle geometries. This means that, for a certain individual, a computational representation of the musculoskeletal system will be generated from routine medical images obtained from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).

Orthopaedic biomechanics
Personalised computational models of the musculoskeletal system can be employed in clinical applications such as orthopaedics biomechanics. For example, surgical techniques can be simulated and optimised with the aim of improving their outcome.
