Presenter: Professor Robert Keatch, Professor of Mechanical and Electronic Engineering, School of Science and Engineering, University of Dundee
Masterclass brief:
Explore the exciting roles of engineers developing new materials for a variety of different applications, including sports, medicine, aviation and automotive among all sectors. Experience what a course in Mechanical Engineering entails through projects and research led teaching; learn about the exciting opportunities to work with industry and institutes such as CERN.
Presenter profile:
Prof Robert Keatch was Head of Mechanical Engineering, Biomedical Engineering and Electronic Engineering from 2005 until 2021 and Associate Dean of School and College Director of Admissions and Student Recruitment from 2013-15. By focusing his Discipline’s strength on the theme of medical related research it allowed for a new approach to multidisciplinary teaching and involving colleagues from across the Schools of Life Sciences, Business and Medicine. This multidisciplinary approach led to development of new postgraduate programmes in Biomedical Engineering, Medical Imaging and more recently Industrial Engineering with Management. This made the course as interesting, informative, Industrial relevant and current as possible, giving the students the right environment to learn by developing state-of-the-art facilities and continually putting their new skills to the test.
Professor Keatch’s research expertise focused on generating complex 3D scaffolds used in wound healing, surface and materials modulation, and systems biology modelling while promoting cross-disciplinary research interaction between Engineering, Life Sciences, Mathematics, and Medicine. Specifically, his research includes pivotal work on the synthesis and development of novel biocompatible scaffolds to use as in-vitro assays for fundamental studies of cell behaviour. He has extensive expertise in microengineering, fabrication techniques, materials and biomechanics and has applied his research interests to cover a wide range of biomedical activities, from designing miniature medical devices to investigating complex cell behaviour on microfabricated 3D structures.
