Professor Patricia Connolly serves in the Department of Biomedical Engineering within the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Strathclyde, United Kingdom. Her research directly contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals through biomedical innovation.
Her research spans wound monitoring systems, engineered biomaterials (particularly silk-based surgical solutions), and digital health technologies. Key focus areas include:
- Non-invasive physiological monitoring devices
- Iontophoresis and transdermal drug delivery
- Surgical wound healing biomaterials
- mHealth interventions for cardiac conditions
- Digital twin applications in surgery
Her recent publications reveal strong trends in merging real-time physiological data with surgical decision support systems, particularly through digital twin technology and biomaterial innovation for wound care.
Award highlights:
- Real-time Digital Twin Assisted Surgery (DTAS) award (2023)
Professor Connolly actively supervises postgraduate research (8 students documented) and secures major grants including Wellcome Trust and Medical Research Scotland funding. Her current projects span wound monitoring systems, engineered silks for surgical applications, and collaborative research cultures.
She operates within Strathclyde's Biomedical Engineering facilities, utilizing advanced equipment including the Metrohm Autolab PGSTAT302N Potentiostat for electrochemical analysis in wound monitoring research.
