Dr. Vaughan was recruited to the Discipline of Biomedical Engineering in September 2015. He was awarded a PhD in Mechanical Engineering in 2011 by the University of Limerick and holds a First Class Honours degree in Mechanical Engineering, also from the University of Limerick. Following his PhD, he spent four years working as a postdoctoral researcher in the Centre for Biomechanics Research at NUI Galway on a European Research Council funded grant examining aspects of bone mechanobiology.
During this time, he also held a position as a Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Notre Dame, funded through a Postdoctoral Mobility Grant awarded by the Royal Irish Academy.
Dr. Vaughan has a multidisciplinary background and his research has focussed on the development of multiscale modelling techniques to address problems in areas such as composite damage mechanics, bone biomechanics, bone mechanobiology and medical device design. To date, he has published 21 peerreviewed journal articles and one book chapter relating to these fields. He lectures on several modules on the Biomedical Engineering Undergraduate and Master’s programmes, including Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BME503), Engineering Computing (CT1110), Materials (BME2100) and Tissue Engineering (BME405).
