Dr Farshid Sefat is
Associate Professor and Programme Leader in Biomedical and Electronic Engineering
Department at the University of Bradford (UK) and previously was head of
Biomedical Engineering Department at King Faisal University (Saudi Arabia) and
also a Visiting Professor at Stevens Institute of Technology (New Jersey, USA).
He completed his post doctorate research assistant at University of Sheffield
(UK) in the area of cornea tissue engineering. He received his Ph.D. (2011) and
BEng. (2005) degrees from University of Bradford (UK) both in Biomedical
Engineering mainly focus on bone cell engineering. He also obtained his MSc.
(2006) in Cell and Tissue Engineering from Keele University (UK).
His research is based on
developing biomaterials to control cellular behaviour with particular emphasis
in developing engineered materials for various tissue engineering
applications. He is an author on >100
peer-reviewed journal articles, editorials and review papers and >30 book
chapters/edited books. He is on the editorial boards and reviewer of >30
numerous journals including Materials Today, Acta Biomaterialia, IEEE,
Bone, MDPI, Journal of Orthopaedics & Rheumatology, Materials Science and
Engineering C, Journal of Biomechanics and many
more.
