Research focus
Four connected fields of inquiry
A translational research agenda connecting clinical biomechanics, fabrication technology, user experience, and disability participation.
Digital Fabrication
3D-printed prosthetic technology and clinically relevant digital workflows.
Sustainable Materials
Locally sourced composite materials for accessible prosthetic innovation.
Disability Rehabilitation
Function, independence, participation, quality of life, and community empowerment.
Featured research
From materials to meaningful outcomes
Customized 3D-Printed PLA Transtibial Sockets
Clinical evaluation of mobility, comfort, satisfaction, wear time, and safety in transtibial prosthesis users.
Coconut-Coir Composite Prosthetic Sockets
Development and functional evaluation of an Indonesian natural-fibre composite for transtibial socket fabrication.
Disability Function and Participation
Community-based interventions connecting assistive technology with functional empowerment and quality of life.
Translation pathway
Research designed to move beyond the prototype
Each programme is developed with attention to clinical need, measurable function, implementation context, and user experience.
