Harrison Caddy

Harrison Caddy serves as a Research Fellow in the Department of Mechanical Engineering within the School of Engineering at The University of Western Australia. His work bridges biomedical engineering and ecological restoration through computational modeling expertise.

His research focuses on cardiovascular responses to extreme environments, particularly developing 3D models of retinal vasculature using computational fluid dynamics. Key application areas include spaceflight medicine for lunar/Mars missions and health screening for military personnel in remote environments. Additional work involves ecological restoration engineering, designing machinery for landscape rehabilitation in Western Australia's South-West and Northern Pilbara regions.

Publication analysis reveals consistent expertise in hemodynamics, shear stress phenomena, and thermoregulation physiology across multiple physiological systems. His 2024-2025 publications demonstrate strong collaboration with cardiovascular researchers at UWA, particularly with L.J. Kelsey and B.J. Doyle.
