Socrates Dokos

Associate Professor Socrates Dokos is Deputy Head of the Graduate School of Biomedical Engineering at UNSW Sydney. His research focuses on computational modeling of electrical and mechanical properties in excitable tissues, with over 160 publications and a sole-authored textbook on Modelling Organs, Tissues, Cells and Devices. He leads interdisciplinary work combining computational modeling, systems identification, and experimental electrophysiology.

• Current IEEE EMBC Editor for Computational Systems & Synthetic Biology
• Member of EMBS Technical Committee on Therapeutic Systems and Technologies

Key research areas involve

• Cardiac electrical and mechanical function modeling
• Retinal neural stimulation simulations
• Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) optimization
• Biomechanical modeling of tissues and devices
• Parameter optimization for ionic cell models
• Cardiovascular-rotary blood pump interactions

His recent publications demonstrate expertise in multi-scale biological modeling, cardiac hemodynamics, retinal prosthetics, and therapeutic neuromodulation techniques. He actively engages in developing standards for the Modeling Markup Language (MML) framework.
