Kieran Bennett

Kieran Bennett serves as a Casual Academic and Full Member in the College of Science and Engineering at Flinders University, where he is affiliated with the Medical Device Research Institute. His work bridges engineering principles with clinical orthopaedic applications, focusing on biomechanical analysis of lower limb function and surgical interventions.

His research interests center on orthopaedic biomechanics, with particular expertise in tibial plateau fractures, knee and hip joint function, and surgical training model development. Bennett employs a combination of in silico, ex vivo, and in vivo methodologies to investigate biomechanical phenomena, with emphasis on translating engineering insights to clinical practice. His work frequently involves cadaveric specimens, instrumented implants, and advanced gait analysis techniques.

The publication record reveals a clear trajectory from his PhD work on tibial plateau fracture modeling toward broader applications in surgical training, fracture rehabilitation, and joint loading measurement. Recent publications demonstrate increasing sophistication in methodology, incorporating instrumented walkers, EMG-informed modeling, and randomized controlled trials to validate biomechanical findings. The research consistently targets practical clinical applications in orthopaedic surgery and rehabilitation.

Bennett maintains an active research profile with consistent publication output across high-impact biomechanics and orthopaedic journals. His collaborative network includes researchers from multiple institutions, with frequent co-authorship indicating strong interdisciplinary connections between engineering and clinical departments.
