Osama M Maklad

Dr. Osama M Maklad serves as a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Greenwich within the School of Engineering, Faculty of Engineering and Science, a position he assumed in February 2022. His academic journey spans biomechanics, fluid dynamics, and complex fluid rheology, with research conducted at prestigious institutions including Liverpool John Moores University and the University of Liverpool.

His educational foundation includes a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Power Engineering from Mansoura University, Egypt (2013), followed by a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Liverpool (2019). During his doctoral studies within the Biomechanical Engineering Group, he investigated fluid-structure interaction effects on human eye biomechanics. His postdoctoral work expanded into turbulent pulsatile flows and rheological characterization of functionalized dipeptides.

Dr. Maklad's research expertise centers on corneal biomechanics and complex fluid behavior, utilizing advanced computational methods including direct numerical simulations, machine learning, and fluid-structure interaction modeling. His work bridges engineering principles with ophthalmological applications, particularly in intraocular pressure measurement accuracy and material characterization of biological tissues. Current investigations focus on patient-specific modeling, reduced-order computational techniques, and the mechanical properties of self-assembling dipeptide systems.

Analysis of his 15 most recent publications reveals a dominant focus on ocular biomechanics (73% of works), with significant contributions to complex fluid rheology (27%). His research demonstrates progressive integration of machine learning with traditional computational mechanics, particularly in corneal material characterization and air puff tonometry applications. The publication trend shows increasing methodological sophistication from fundamental rheological studies toward patient-specific clinical applications.

Dr. Maklad maintains active research collaborations across multiple institutions but has not received publicly documented scientific awards based on available information.

While no formal advisees are listed in current records, his collaborative publication record indicates engagement with research teams at the Transient Flow Laboratory (Liverpool John Moores University) and the University of Liverpool's Fluids Engineering Research Group. His work shows consistent funding support through institutional research positions, though specific grant details remain undisclosed.

His laboratory affiliations include the Transient Flow Laboratory (TFL) at Liverpool John Moores University for pulsatile flow research, and the Biomechanical Engineering Group at the University of Liverpool for ocular biomechanics studies. At Greenwich, he contributes to the mechanical engineering research environment within the School of Engineering, with potential expansion into soft matter characterization facilities.
