David Saxby is an Associate Professor at Griffith University, affiliated with the School of Health Sciences and Social Work and the Griffith Centre of Biomedical and Rehabilitation Engineering (GCORE). He co-founded the biomedical startup Ontic Ortho Solution Pty Ltd, focusing on high-fidelity orthopedic models for surgical training. His research spans musculoskeletal biomechanics, ACL injury, orthopedic implants, and computational modeling, with industry partnerships like Orthocell and VALD.
He earned a PhD in Biomechanical Engineering from Griffith University (2016), preceded by an MSc in Biophysical Sciences (University of Ottawa, 2010) and BSc in Human Kinetics (University of Ottawa, 2008). A Graduate Diploma in Higher Education (2019) informs his teaching roles in Introductory Biomechanics (1008AHS) and Musculoskeletal Biomechanics (2007AHS).
His research integrates computational neuromusculoskeletal modeling with wearable sensor technology to address orthopedic injuries, hip osteoarthritis, and spinal cord rehabilitation. Articles highlight applications of AI, finite element analysis, and digital twins in surgical planning and implant design.
He has received awards including Early Career Researcher of the Year (2019), Publication of the Year (2016), and Research Team of the Year (2019). His 15 most recent articles focus on ACL mechanics, hip and knee joint forces, AI-driven biomechanical simulations, and pediatric orthopedic outcomes.
As a supervisor, he has guided 15+ PhD and Masters students in areas like neuromusculoskeletal modeling, prosthetic design, and orthopedic diagnostics. His funded projects include $4.5M in grants from organizations like Arthritis Australia, Motor Accident Insurance Commission, and NHMRC, emphasizing precision rehabilitation and AI-enabled clinical tools.
