Matheus de Andrade

Matheus de Andrade is a Lecturer (Teaching) at the University College London's UCL Centre for Engineering Education, part of the UCL Faculty of Engineering Sciences. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from UCL and a BSc in Mechanical Engineering from Rio de Janeiro State University (UERJ), Brazil. His research spans biomedical engineering applications of high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU), particularly histotripsy techniques for non-invasive surgery and cell transplantation, alongside innovations in engineering education pedagogy.

His academic journey includes a research assistantship at The University of Sheffield focusing on underwater ultrasound sensor design using finite element methods. He has contributed to advancing educational strategies through open-book assessments and real-world problem solving in engineering mathematics, emphasizing sustainable development goals and interdisciplinary learning.

Key research trends in his publications focus on: histotripsy's cellular mechanisms and clinical applications, optimization of ultrasound parameters in tissue ablation, and curriculum design for active learning. His consultancy work extends to industry collaborations through UCL Consultants Ltd, addressing biomedical technology and engineering education challenges. He maintains active involvement in the biomedical engineering community and contributes to peer review activities.
