The University of Adelaide Centre for Biomedical Engineering was established in 1990 with the following objectives:
- To create an environment for interdisciplinary research, learning and other scholarly work in the field
of Biomedical Engineering within the University;
- To promote interaction between persons in the Faculties of Engineering, Medicine, Dentistry, Science and
Mathematical and Computer Sciences with expertise relevant to Biomedical Engineering;
- To promote Biomedical Engineering in the academic and general community of the University.
The centre is administratively responsible to the Faculty of Engineering and is managed by a Management Committee
consisting of a Director, a Deputy Director, Honorary Secretary and seven Committee Members drawn from the various
departments of the University, allowing a wide interdisciplinary involvement in the Centre. The present Management
Committee is very keen to see that the Centre acts as a focus and coordinating body for the Biomedical Engineering
activities througout the University.
The Centre has a wealth of knowledge in its members, and at present there are established groups working on a number
of areas of research. Specific targeted areas of research in the Centre include, but are not limited to:
- Biomedical Signal Processing
- Orthopaedic Biomechanics
- Spinal Biomechanics
- Cardiovascular Engineering
- Neural Networks and their Application to Biomedical Problems
- Biofluid Mechanics
- Wavelet Transforms in Biomedical Engineering
- Biomechanics
- PhD and Masters Degrees by Research.
