Alistair McEwan

Professor Alistair McEwan, affiliated with the University of Sydney's School of Biomedical Engineering, specializes in biomedical devices and instrumentation for neurological and cardiovascular diagnostics. As the Cerebral Palsy Chair of Technology and Engineering and Associate Head (External Engagement), he focuses on low-cost medical solutions for resource-limited settings, including neonatal care and stroke detection. His research bridges biophysics and clinical translation, with applications in electrical impedance tomography, wearable sensors, and neuroprosthetics.

• PhD from University of Oxford
• Member of the Sydney Nano Institute, Brain and Mind Centre, and Charles Perkins Centre

His work explores how tissue electrical properties can enhance understanding of neural signaling and implant design. Clinical collaborators include the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation for newborn nutrition monitoring. Recent projects involve AI-assisted critical care modeling, bionic devices for stress measurement, and adaptive control systems for neonatal resuscitation equipment.
