Abstract
As lead for the Biomechanics theme of the Centre for Blast Injury Studies, Professor Anthony Bull will present the underlying technological approaches used to address the understanding of blast injuries and their mitigation. He will provide a survey of recently completed work, present the current focus of the Centre and explore opportunities for biomechanics to address new areas for significant clinical impact.
Biography
Professor Anthony Bull, Centre Director; Theme Lead, Blast Biomechanics Anthony is Professor of Musculoskeletal Mechanics with research interests in how forces and deformations are transmitted through the musculoskeletal system. The applications range from diseases of ageing, including osteoarthritis, to high-level athletic performance and injuries.
Anthony’s interest in Blast Injury stems from a strong history of clinical collaborations and the application of bioengineering to real clinical need in order to have an impact on health and wellbeing. In addition to CBIS, Anthony leads the Centre for Medical Engineering Solutions in Osteoarthritis and the Sports Innovation Challenge, both multi-million pound funded research activities at Imperial College.
His administrative roles include Head of Department of Bioengineering and Director of the Institute of Biomedical Engineering
