Electric Motor Torque Estimation
Knowing the torque produced by an electric motor is essential in a wide range of applications. In electric vehicles it is important to deliver the torque requested by the driver, and it becomes very important for good drivability when blending regenerative braking torque with the hydraulic brakes.

A10 dopamine neurons: the missing link in cell therapeutics for Parkinson's disease?
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most prevalent neurodegenerative disease and degeneration of the nigral dopamine neurons is a key pathological feature of the condition. Read more
Understanding and optimising motor cortex plasticity
Motor learning is a key skill required at all stages of life but is crucially important for recovery and development. A mechanistic understanding of the biological processes that underpin skill acquisition in healthy and pathological states is an important scientific and clinical goal. Read more
Assessment of nutritional status, body composition, motor- and neurodevelopment in preterm and term children aged 2-4 years: an international, multicentre study.

MSc by Research: ADP-ribosylation in dementia and motor neuron disease
ADP-ribosylation is a fundamental posttranslational modification where ADP-ribose is linked on to target proteins by ADP-ribose transferases and removed by the ADP-ribose hydrolases. Read more
Understanding the Electric Field in Electrical Stimulation for Biomedical Applications
Functional electrical stimulation (FES) is a treatment that applies small electrical charges to a muscle that has become paralysed or weakened, due to damage in the brain or spinal cord. Read more
A Fully Funded PhD Scholarship in Biomedical Engineering: Kinematic Measurement Applied to NeuroGeriatrics
Development and validation of gait analysis algorithms employing novel signal processing and statistical methods to examine unsupervised mobility as a marker of deficits in clinical measures. Read more
Piezoelectric nanofibers guiding and sensing optogenetically-controlled neuromuscular junctions by flexible organic LED stimulation
Paralysis due to injury, stroke and neuromuscular diseases incorporates numerous conditions that affect the function of nerves and muscles, impairing the execution of motor commands and ultimately leading to irreversible muscle atrophy. Read more
