PhD projects

Duncan Shepherd’s main research interests are in the design and testing of implantable medical devices. He has received major grants from Arthritis Research UK, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and the medical device industry. He has supervsied doctoral research on the following topics:

Design of spinal implants
Design of finger joint replacement implants
Design and testing of total disc arthroplasty
Development of spinal devices
Design of surgical instrumentation for minimally invasive surgery

Dr Shepherd is interested to hear from prospective doctoral research students wishing to undertake research in the design and testing of medical devices (e.g. spinal implants, small joint replacement, trauma devices) and the mechanical properties of natural tissues (eg, articular cartilage).
