William Robertson

William Robertson is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the School of Physics, Mathematics and Computing at the University of Western Australia, holding an appointment within the Computer Science and Software Engineering discipline. Despite his home department, his research contributions lie at the intersection of orthopaedics, pharmacotherapy and medical imaging, with a focus on osteoarthritis and cartilage repair technologies.

Research Interests

• Computer Science & Software Engineering applications in medical research
• Osteoarthritis pharmacotherapy and drug-delivery optimisation
• Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI)
• Long-term clinical and MRI-based outcome assessment after cartilage repair
• Game-based health education tools for children

Across the most recent publications (spanning 2011–2019), a clear trend emerges: Robertson collaborates extensively with orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists and pharmacologists to evaluate surgical techniques, rehabilitation protocols and pharmaceutical interventions aimed at preserving knee-joint function in younger patients with osteoarthritis.
