معرفی
Dr. Elise Pegg is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, specializing in orthopaedic biomaterials and biomechanics. She leads a research team addressing lower limb healthcare challenges, including biomaterial development, computational tools for diagnosis, and surgical treatment prediction. Her work contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and innovation.
Education: PhD in Organic functionalisation of titania from the University of Nottingham (2007). Prior to academia, she worked in the orthopaedic industry and held a post-doctoral position at the University of Oxford’s Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics. She joined the University of Bath in 2015.
Research Interests: Focus on orthopaedic biomaterials and biomechanics, including polyethylene implants, radiopaque materials, and finite element modeling. Current projects include auxetic fixation devices, additive manufacturing design optimization, and ankle joint computational modeling. Her work bridges clinical practice and engineering solutions.
Publications: Recent articles explore osteochondral lesions, hip stem design biomechanics, and auxetic materials, reflecting her expertise in biomaterials and clinical engineering.
- Awards: Orthopaedic Research UK Early-career Research Fellowship
- Grants/Projects: Leads and collaborates on projects such as the GKN Prosperity Partnership (hydrogen storage) and Ansys simulation software integration in engineering curricula.
Teaching: Instructs courses on solid mechanics, materials science, and finite element analysis. Supervises undergraduate and postgraduate research projects.
External Roles: External Examiner for Medical Engineering at the University of Leeds, Membership Secretary of the UK Society for Biomaterials, and active in equality and diversity initiatives.
