Summary

Tom Joyce is a biomedical engineer specialising in the design, testing, analysis and evaluation of artificial joints including hips, knees, shoulders and fingers.  He works extensively with industry and clinicians in order to inform and improve future designs of artificial joints.  As a professional engineer he takes an interest in patient experiences with joint replacements, particularly where these fail in-vivo.

He takes a holistic approach to engineering, feeding his research into teaching and supervision of students.  He undertakes and oversees research into engineering pedagogy and has published in this area.
