معرفی
Associate Professor Devakar Epari is a biomedical engineer specializing in orthopaedic trauma and the Subject Area Coordinator for Medical Engineering at QUT's Faculty of Engineering. He holds a PhD from Technische Universität Berlin and dual undergraduate degrees in biomedical and mechanical engineering from the University of New South Wales. His research focuses on fracture fixation mechanics, bone healing mechanisms, and medical device innovation, including co-developing the CE-marked Biphasic Plating concept. Epari teaches courses in biomechanical engineering design, modeling, and medical legislation, and actively supervises PhD students exploring fracture healing dynamics and implant design.
- Education:
- PhD in Biomedical Engineering, Technische Universität Berlin
- Master of Biomedical Engineering, UNSW Sydney
- Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical), UNSW Sydney
- Key Research Contributions:
- Biphasic Plating technology for distal femur fractures
- Investigations into mechanical stimulation timing and fixation stiffness modulation
