About the presenter:
Associate Professor John Costi is a Mechanical Engineer who completed his PhD in biomechanics of the spinal disc in 2004 at Flinders University in Adelaide, Australia. In 2005-2006 he undertook a postdoctoral fellowship at the Departments of Orthopaedics & Rehabilitation and Mechanical Engineering at the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont, USA. In 2009, he joined The College of Science and Engineering, Flinders University in his current position as an Academic staff member where he led a collaborative team to design and develop a novel, award-winning, six degree of freedom hexapod robot that allows for three-dimensional loading of biological joints and tissues.
He holds several leadership roles: Vice President, Scientific Secretary and Board of Directors Member of the Spine Society of Australia (2016-, 2020-). At Flinders he is Founder and Head of the Biomechanics and Implants Laboratory (2009-), Founder and Director of Flinders Surgical Lab (2016-), and Research Section Lead for Engineered Systems (2020-). John has received numerous honours in recognition of his leadership both professionally and in research: Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia (Biomedical and Mechanical Engineering Colleges, 2015-), Fellow of International Orthopaedic Research of the International Combined Orthopaedic Research Societies (2019-), and the Spinal Research Award (2017, 2019).
His program of research aims to understand the fundamental multiscale properties of normal, degenerated and injured discs, and their mechanisms of failure, and to develop medical devices to treat these problems. He has been working in the field of orthopaedic biomechanics research for almost 30 years.
