Biological Engineering
 

Facilities and equipment

The Division is home to an advanced suite of laser diagnostic equipment and techniques for biofluids and analogue synchrotron imaging and biology laboratories, and is managing or partner of major facilities established under ARC funding: the Biomedical Engineering Sensing and Imaging (BESI) facility, the Materials Surface Characterisation facility, and the Nanomaterials Optical Characterisation Facility. It also has access to other Monash Engineering’s equipment and facilities, which are among the nation’s finest, and manages the Monash University Biomedical Engineering Technology Alliance (MuBeta) laboratory.

The faculty’s state-of-the-art microscopy and microanalysis equipment includes a three-dimensional atom probe, one of only a handful of such instruments in the world.

To predict complex biological flows, such as cardiovascular circulation or bioreactor mixing, the Division uses sophisticated computational fluid dynamics codes, run on a Beowulf Cluster at Monash and the supercomputing power at the Australian Partnership of Advanced Computing (APAC) and the Victorian Partnership of Advanced Computing (VPAC).
