Peter Zioupos is a Professor in Biomedical Engineering in School of Engineering, University of Hull. He has held previous appointments in the universities of Cranfield, York and Strathclyde.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He is a Visiting Professor of the Institute of Future Transport & Cities<\/em> of Coventry University (Nov 2020) advising on automotive related trauma and applications, and a Fellow of the IPEM (Institute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine<\/em>). In 2008, he was awarded the Degree of Doctor of Science by the Senate of Strathclyde University following the recommendation by the Higher Doctorates Committee for his work on \u2018Composite aspects of basic bone biomechanics: structure\/function relationships and applications’<\/em>. Over the past 20 years he has published over 100 peer review articles in this specialised topic, gathering over 5800 citations. 13 papers, in particular, are now \u2018classics’ in the field of basic bone biomechanics with more than 100 citations each.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He is in the Editorial advisory board of the\u00a0Journal of Biomechanics (ELSEVIER)\u00a0<\/em>and the Editorial boards of the\u00a0Journal of Mechanical Behaviour of Biomedical Materials\u00a0(ELSEVIER), Journal of Bionic Engineering (SPRINGER),\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0LIFE (MDPI). <\/em>He was the guest editor for a Special issue of the ‘Journal of Mechanical Behavior of Biomedical Materials<\/em>‘ on\u00a0\u2018Forensic Biomechanics<\/em>\u2019<\/a>\u00a0(May 2014) which presents a good choice of papers across a range of applications in the field of Medicolegal Forensic Biomechanics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PZ is also active in forensics and offers consultancy in legal cases regarding lethal or otherwise trauma, which involves primarily bone injuries. He has developed a patent for the \u00a0Forensic determination of age at time of death by analytical laboratory examination of bone matrix<\/em>. He offers consultancy to industry via nanoindentation studies on various health care products, on anodising layers, design of test chambers and testing standards. He has appeared in TV documentaries: one for Discovery Channel on “free fall” accidents, and a second for National Geographic on the circumstances surrounding the unexpected “death of King Tutankhamen”. \u00a0A more recent presentation was in BBC2 the ‘AUTUMNWATCH’ programme (31 October 2019). Peter was interviewed by Chris Packham on the comparative properties of bone and antler material. A structure\/function link was made on screen between the gross anatomy and material properties of these two very different kinds of bone and their function\/performance in life. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Peter Zioupos is a Professor in Biomedical Engineering in School of Engineering, University of Hull.
