Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD - email supervisor to discuss availability.

I work in the field of biomechanics (the application of mechanics to understand biological phenomena), specifically orthopaedic (our bones, muscles, tendons and ligaments) biomechanics. I am a NHMRC R.D Wright Fellow (2017-2021). I am recognised as an emerging leader in the field with awards from the International Society of Biomechanics (footwear biomechanics group), International Foot and Ankle Biomechanics community, Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society, and the ORS (USA). I am the immediate Past-President of the Australian and New Zealand Orthopaedic Research Society, and editorial board member for the Journal of Biomechanics and Gait and Posture.

I have made significant contributions in to our understanding of how mechanical loading can influence the out come of complex orthopaedic surgeries (e.g. fracture repair, knee replacement and hip replacement) using a novel combination of experimental and computational methods to model the human musculoskeletal system.

Research experience and track record

My primary research focus is the biomechanics of orthopaedic disease and injury. This includes articular fracture management, which is known to be associated with osteoarthritis onset, and joint arthroplasty – the end point for most people with degenerative joint disease. I use an exciting combination of biomechanical modelling methods, medial imaging, wearable sensors and patient reported outcome measures to explore these conditions. I have a secondary interest in movement disorders and the neurological control of movement.

I have the following projects available for new students in 2022-2023.


Title	Description	Level	Start	Special Reqs.
Multi-modal, multi-scale model of end-stage hip osteoarthritis	We have established a internationally unique set of data on end-stage hip osteoarthritis which includes ex vivo and in vivo MRI and CT and MicroCT, locomotor biomechanics (gait lab), bone biopsies for gene expression studies, and clinical measures. Our goal is to better understand the interaction between mechanics, shape and structure and biology to shed new light on the disease process. The long term goal of this work is to translate these techniques in to early-stage osteoarthritis.	HDR and Honours	Semester 1 and 2	None
Functional outcomes for orthopaedic surgery using a state of the art instrumented gait analysis system	We have established the only gait analysis facility located in an outpatient department in Australia. The facility includes a state of the art instrumented treadmill and inertial measurement units. Projects will establish new cohorts and follow them longitudinally. This is an exciting opportunity to be at the cutting edge of functional analysis for musculoskeletal conditions.	Honours and HDR	Semester 1 and 2	None
Pilot RCT for weight bearing after tibial plateau fracture	We have established strong data to show that immediate weight bearing as tolerated by pain after surgical repair of tibial plateau fracture is safe. We are now looking to establish if there is evidence for better patient reported and clinical outcomes through a pilot RCT. We will use outcomes measures such as gait analysis and radiostereometric analysis.	HDR	Semester 1 and 2	None
Optimal control for simulating the outcome of orthopaedic surgery	The goal of this work is to predict the functional (biomechanical) outcome of surgery where the goal is to change geometry, e.g. moving the hip joint centre medially in hip replacement. We will use model predictive control for these simulations and validate against a large dataset of already captured outcomes with known changes in geometry.	HDR	Semester 1 and 2	None
