معرفی
Sarah Junaid is a Lecturer in the Mechanical, Biomedical & Design Engineering department at Aston University, affiliated with the College of Engineering and Physical Sciences. She is part of the EPS Education and Professional Practice Academic Research Group, Engineering for Health Research Centre, and the Research Centre for the Humanities. Her research focuses on applying engineering principles to medical challenges, including implant mechanics, fracture fixation, and biomedical device design.
Her key research interests include biomechanical analysis of surgical implants, medical imaging techniques (e.g., MicroCT), and the development of in vitro models for dental and periodontal therapies. She has pioneered novel approaches such as an external fixation pin-site model for studying wound healing in transcutaneous implants and a multi-sensor array for non-radiographic monitoring of joint prostheses.
Junaid’s work bridges engineering and healthcare, with notable contributions to orthopedic surgery (e.g., glenoid implant fixation, calcaneus parametrization) and biomedical ethics education. She has also developed a practical toolkit for embedding ethics into engineering curricula, addressing global accreditation standards. Her interdisciplinary approach integrates biomechanics, materials science, and pedagogy to advance both clinical practice and engineering education.
She supervises PhD students in projects like developing implantable biosensors for long-term monitoring of medical implants. Her labs focus on engineering solutions for surgical challenges, with collaborations in tissue engineering and sustainable manufacturing.
