Summary
Professor Ethier is a Senior Research Investigator with the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College, London. Prior to joining Imperial College in 2007, he served as Director of the Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, where he was a Professor of Bioengineering, Mechanical Engineering and Ophthalmology. He received his Ph.D. from MIT in 1986.
His research is in the biomechanics of cells and whole organs. His specific research topics include glaucoma (biomechanics of aqueous humour drainage in the normal and glaucomatous eye, and the mechanical and cellular response of optic nerve tissues to intraocular pressure), study of hemodynamic basis of arterial disease).
Professor Ethier is co-author, with Professor Craig Simmons, of a text on biomechanics (see image). For more information about this publication, click here.
