Prof Niamh Nowlan was appointed Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the School of Mechanical and Materials Engineering at University College Dublin in 2021. Prior to this, she was Reader in Developmental Biomechanics at the Department of Bioengineering of Imperial College London, UK, and maintains an honorary appointment there. The research focus of her group is…
Karin joined the group in Dublin in 2022 after completing a master degree in Biomedical Physics at Comenius University in Slovakia. She started initially as a research assistant and later that year registered as a PhD student. Her PhD focuses on understanding how articular cartilage matures during development and during regeneration using multi-scale imaging techniques.…
James is a PhD student who joined the London group in 2018 after completing his MEng in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London. His research involves producing a computational model of synovial joint development, with a focus on the chick hip joint. He hopes his model will be able to predict joint malformations under abnormal…
Josepha Godivier joined the Developmental Biomechanics group in October 2018 as a PhD student at Imperial College London. Her work focusses on developing a mechanobiological model for joint growth taking into account foetal movements. Josepha completed a master degree in Biomedical Engineering at Imperial College London and an Engineering degree at Ecole des Mines de…
Monica is the Research Project Manager for the Wellcome Leap funded project aimed at developing a wearable monitor for fetal movements and therefore fetal health. She joined the Dublin group in 2023. Her work experience of 10 years in the Medical Device Industry covers R&D and Regulatory Affairs, Class III implantable devices, Class I, Class…
Sarah joined the group in Dublin in 2022 after completing a degree in Veterinary Medicine in Budapest. Her PhD focuses on healing and development of immature articular cartilage in a large animal model. during regeneration using a large animal model. She is joint supervised by Prof Nowlan and by Prof Pieter Brama in the UCD…
Hannah joined Prof Nowlan’s research group in January 2022 as a PhD student at University College Dublin, where she previously completed her undergraduate degree in Statistics. Her research involves analysing magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) of children with Perthes hip disease in order to create a robust classification model. This will hopefully aid the evaluation of…
