Sinduja Suresh is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Biomechanics and Spine Research Group (BSRG) and in the Australian Research Council (ARC) Training Centre in Multiscale 3D Imaging, Modelling and Manufacturing (M3D) at the Queensland University of Technology (Queensland, Australia). She has a background in Biomedical Engineering and completed her PhD in 2019 at the Hannover Medical School in Germany. She has a strong interest in translational research, personalized medicine, and patient quality of life. With skills in 3D digital processes (imaging, design, modeling, printing, and analysis), she has conducted research in tissue-engineered scaffolds, custom orthopedic implant design, bespoke orthoses for spine deformity, surgical instrumentation, and the quantification of cosmesis.
Paige Little is a Mechanical Engineer and holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering, which was awarded for her research on the finite element modeling of intervertebral disc degeneration in the lumbar spine. She is the Principal Fellow in Spine at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). Paige’s expertise is in the application of engineering and simulation techniques to the exploration and modeling of physiological systems, with a particular focus on improving the understanding of the progression and treatment of spinal deformity in children, and on characterizing the biomechanics of the healthy adult spine.
