Biomedical & Biotechnology Cluster

Applied Biomedical Signal Processing and Intelligent eHealth Lab (ASPIE)

This Biomedical Engineering (BME) lab focuses on translating advanced biomedical signal processing, machine learning and eHealth to clinical settings, aiming to face emerging problems of health and wellbeing, with special focus on later life, and neurodegenerative and neurodevelopmental disorders.

Biomedical & Biological Systems Lab

Focuses on developing chemical sensors and electronic noses for applications in medical diagnostics, agriculture, air quality, and environmental monitoring.

Biomedical Sensors Lab

Conducts research on systems modelling in biomedicine and biology, including applications in disease control, Nano bioengineering, and the dynamics of biological processes.

Stochastic & Complex Systems Lab

The group researches stochastic information processing, including noise-enhancing techniques like suprathreshold stochastic resonance for applications such as cochlear implants and nanotechnology. It also focuses on identifying unknown parameters in engineering models, system integration in automotive vehicles, and the interplay between noise and chaos in nonlinear systems, aiming to address challenges in system functionality and control.

Trace Metals in Medicine Lab

The group focuses on imaging and quantifying transition metal ion distribution in the human brain to aid in early detection and diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders. Using techniques like high-resolution MRI, synchrotron X-ray microfocus spectroscopy, and magnetometry, they characterize the distribution and form of trace metals in tissues and protein aggregates.

Michael Chappell

Mike Chappell was appointed to the academic staff of the School of Engineering in 1990. He has teaching responsibilities in the general area of engineering mathematics and in the specialist area of mathematical modelling and simulation. He is presently the MEng Course Manager for all streams of Engineering within the School.

Davide Piaggio

Dr Davide Piaggio was born in Imperia Link opens in a new window(Liguria, Italy), where he attended Liceo Classico E. De Amicis (2006-2011). He then received his BSc and MSc in Biomedical engineering at the University of Genoa Link opens in a new window(2014) and at the Polytechnic University of TurinLink opens in a new window(2017), respectively. Davide received his PhD in Biomedical Engineering with a specific focus on medical devices, regulations and low-resource settings from the University of Warwick (2022), where he is currently Assistant Professor and co-director of the Applied Biomedical Signal Processing and Intelligent eHealth Lab(ABSPIE) since 2022. Since the start of his PhD he has been involved in several teaching and research related jobs, including graduate teaching assistant, research assistant, teaching fellow, and research fellow.

His main areas of expertise are medical device design and regulatory affairs, CAD design, 3D printing, signal processing and App design (Android). He has authored or co-authored about 30 journal/conference papers and book chapters. He also contributed with writing the definitions of 10 lemmas for the Encyclopaedia of Medical PhysicsLink opens in a new window(ISBN 9781138592148).

Davide is Secretary General for EAMBESLink opens in a new window, IFMBE HTAD Link opens in a new windowand IFMBE Africa Biomedical Engineering Working Group collaborator and IFMBE publicity committee member, academic co-lead for the Society&Culture Link opens in a new windowSpotlight, steering committee member for WICIDLink opens in a new window, and executive team member for the Biomedical Engineering InstituteLink opens in a new window.

BME Teaching

We offer an undergraduate elective teaching program for those interested in biomedical engineering as part of our undergraduate intake - see here Link opens in a new windowfor more details on our Biomedical Systems Engineering course. We also have a dedicated MSc programme in biomedical engineering. You can get more information about this programme by looking here. Take a look at a video explaining our MSc in BME here.

Biomedical Systems Engineering

Learn how to solve biomedical problems using Engineering methods and tools.

Available Course Options

• BEng Biomedical Systems Engineering (H161)
• MEng Biomedical Systems Engineering (H163)

If you aspire to achieve Chartered Engineer (CEng) status, a degree from Warwick is a great starting point. The majority of our degrees are accredited by licensed professional engineering institutions, such as the IET, IMechE and JBM and provide the academic component (in part or fully) needed for Chartered Engineer status.
