Ms Nikoo Soltan Mohammadzadeh
Higher Degree by Research Candidate
School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering
College of Engineering and Information Technology
I am a PhD candidate in mechanical engineering (biomedical discipline). My research involves characterizing the pressure and flow dynamics of cerebrospinal fluid in the spine with applications to spinal injuries and disorders. My broader research interests include injury biomechanics (particularly the study of injury mechanisms), quantitative imaging (CT, MRI), and systems-level physiological modelling.
