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.
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.
