Summary
Claire is a Honorary Research Associate working on lattice structure optimisation for biomedical applications.
She developed digital design techniques during her Doctoral Prize Fellowship followed by a Knowledge Transfer Secondment at Embody Orthopaedic.
Claire conducted her doctoral research within the Royal British Legion Centre for Blast Injury Studies at Imperial College London. Her thesis focused on structural finite element modelling of bone structure under the supervision of Dr Andrew Phillips and was entitled: Structural Meso and Microscale Finite Element-Based Methods for the Prediction of Bone Architecture and Failure.
