Overview

My research focus is experimental and numerical quantification of multiphase flows in complex systems. Laser diagnostics techniques such as LDA, PIV and Particle Dynamics Analyzer together with various numerical methods are applied for the analysis of fundamental and industrial problems.

In 2003 the tissue engineering and biomechanics laboratories have been established to address various issues related to soft tissue biomechanics and tissue engineering of heart valves and arteries. These laboratories consist of the bio-fluid mechanics section for modelling and producing scaffolds for cell dynamic conditioning and the tissue culture laboratory, equipped for cell culture, characterisation as well as histomorphometric analysis of cells and the engineered cell/polymer constructs.

The biomechanics and tissue engineering group associated with these laboratories is an interdisciplinary team with various expertise in hemodynamic, CAD modelling, scaffold design and cell culture. In the design and optimization of the scaffold various manufacturing techniques such as fused deposition modelling and electro-spinning are used to construct biocompatible and biodegradable materials constructs. The group is also active in the biomechanics of engineered tissues, and in particular understanding the in-vitro and in-vivo remodeling processes from a functional biomechanical perspective. Moreover, fluid-structure interactions (FIS) are constantly used to refine the design of heart valves and various configurations of arteries.

Research conducted by the group is ultimately aimed at the creation of living heart valves as replacement entities rather than using the current option of artificial heart valves. Thus far, a polyurethane tri-leaflet heart valve scaffold has been created and the design is constantly refined using in vitro bioreactor to simulate natural heart valves. The group successfully manufactured the first Australian Tri-leaflet (aortic) sheep heart valve scaffold (based on CT scan) made from polyurethane. This work includes the production of cellularized scaffold templates for defined flow conditioning in bioreactors. Human mesenchymal stem cells also have been used for the creation of all the three layer of the heart valve leaflets. http://www.tissueengineering.com.au
