Speaker Biography

Thor Besier (Auckland Bioengineering Institute)

Professor

Thor Besier is a Professor at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute and has a joint appointment with the Department of Engineering Science & Biomedical Engineering at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. Thor’s research combines medical imaging with computational modelling to understand mechanisms of musculoskeletal injury and disease. Current projects focus on technology to assist people with neurological disorders and the use of models and wearable sensors in orthopaedics. He has published 156 journal papers on these topics and spun-out two companies from his research, including IMeasureU (inertial sensing for human movement) and FormusLabs (orthopaedic pre-operative planning).
