Book Description | This book presents state-of-the-art experimental and modelling techniques for skin biophysics that are currently used in academic and industrial research. |
About the Author | Dr Georges Limbert is Associate Professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton, UK, and Honorary Associate Professor in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town, South Africa.His current research focus is on the constitutive modelling of biological soft tissues with special interest on skin biophysics and the non-linear mechanics and tribology of biological structures. This research aims to unravel the interplay between material and structural properties of biological tissues in health, disease and ageing.Georges has an MSc in Solid Mechanics from the University of Bordeaux, France and a PhD in Computational Biomechanics from the University of Southampton, UK. He is a Chartered Engineer and Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, London, UK. |
