About the Lab
Where Physics Meets
Physiological Reality
The BMR Lab, led by Dr Osama Maklad at the University of Greenwich, investigates complex phenomena at the intersection of biomechanics, multiphysics simulation, and rheology.
Our research spans from studying the fluid-structure interaction in human eye biomechanics to rheological characterisation of viscoelastic and complex fluids, turbulence characteristics of pulsatile flows, and food hydrocolloids texture analysis.
