Biomechanical Research Groups

The group (about a dozen in total) and laboratory specialises in creating smart coatings, smart fibres, bubbles, vesicles, droplets, particles and capsules using a variety of new devices/processes invented in our laboratory.

The UCL Cardiovascular Engineering Laboratory is devoted to the development and clinical implementation of improved therapeutic solutions for cardiovascular diseases.

The UCL Centre for Nerve Engineering aims to bring physical and life scientists together to engineer solutions to clinical nerve repair problems.

They study a range of challenging fluid flow problems such as bluff body flows, fluid-structure interaction, haemodynamics, microfluidics and non-Newtonian flows to name a few.

This project will achieve transformations in X-ray tomography technology by enabling cellular level imaging anywhere in whole organisms including human bodies, providing insight at multiple anatomical levels.

This group focuses on the biomechanics of bones and joints, especially craniofacial systems and lower limb, aiming to understand the underlying mechanics of growth, repair and adaptation.

They are a group working at the interface of cardiovascular science, mathematics and bioengineering. They apply multi-physics and multi-scale computational techniques to produce patient-specific simulations and to understand cardiovascular health and disease.

Our mission is to innovate and improve healthcare systems by using the knowledge of biomechanics, especially with computational approaches. 

The Ultrasonics Group at UCL carries out research in areas spanning the bio-medical and industrial applications of ultrasound science.
