Research Interests
Dominic Joined PDR in 2003 following a two year KTP programme introducing product development methodologies into a small company. Since 2003, Dominic has completed his PhD titled ‘the computer aided design and fabrication of facial prostheses’ and now heads the Medical Applications Group.
Dominic’s research interests include the application and evaluation of computer aided design, rapid prototyping and reverse engineering technologies in surgery, prosthetic reconstruction and dental applications.
The Medical Applications Group also provides commercial services to industry and the UK National Health Service.Recent Publications
