Andrew Farmery is a Professor of Anaesthetics at the University of Oxford , where he serves as Head of the Nuffield Division of Anaesthetics . He is also a Fellow & Tutor in Medicine at Wadham College , Oxford, overseeing undergraduate medical education. Research Interests : His work bridges biomedical engineering and respiratory physiology , focusing on developing intravascular sensors and analytical techniques to monitor respiratory and cardiovascular dysfunction in critically ill patients. Key projects include the Inspired Sinewave Technique (IST) , which quantifies lung heterogeneity , cardiac output , and ‘baby lung’ volume in ARDS and COPD models. He emphasizes translating these innovations into medical devices for improved patient care, supported by grants from the Wellcome Trust , EPSRC , and NIHR . Publications : His recent articles highlight the IST as a non-invasive tool for assessing lung injury , ventilation heterogeneity , and hemodynamic changes in animal models . Studies span ARDS , COPD , and PPE sustainability , reflecting interdisciplinary applications. Methodological works include computational simulations and CT validation for physiological modeling. Labs & Teams : He leads the Respiratory Physiology and Biomedical Engineering Group and is affiliated with the Ventilator Weaning and Extubation in Neurocritical Care Network , integrating clinical and engineering expertise.
