Project description
I am exploring the wear performance of orthopaedic implants. My research focuses on total hip replacements (THRs). I am also investigating polymers used in THRs through adverse condition testing and surface modification. The results will help to improve the performance of these polymers.
I am working in partnership with my industrial sponsors, JointMedica Ltd, to assess the performance of a novel THR design. My PhD is also in partnership with the EPSRC.
