معرفی
Dr. Sabina Gheduzzi is a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, with affiliations to the Centre for Bioengineering & Biomedical Technologies and the Centre for Integrated Materials, Processes & Structures (IMPS). Her research focuses on biomechanics and biomaterials, particularly in orthopaedic applications such as hip/knee replacements, fracture healing, and spinal deformities. She holds a degree from the University of Modena, Italy (1995) and a PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Bath (2001), with prior academic experience at the University of Bristol.
Her work combines engineering principles with medical challenges, including the design of implants, biomaterials evaluation, and ultrasound applications for tissue stimulation and diagnostics. She collaborates across disciplines, involving orthopaedics, physics, biology, and electrical engineering. Key projects include spinal injury mechanisms in rugby, cervical spine biomechanics under impact, and finite element modeling of vertebral behavior.
Dr. Gheduzzi has published extensively on topics like intervertebral disc mechanics, vertebral body failure prediction, and osteochondral tissue regeneration. Her research contributes to UN Sustainable Development Goals related to health and well-being through advancements in medical technologies and injury prevention.
Her grants and projects include the RAEng Ingenious Award (2020-2021) and collaborations with industry (e.g., Bray Group Limited). She is also engaged in pedagogical initiatives, such as enhancing group work experiences in engineering education.
