ABOUT US
The Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering is one of the largest Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering departments in the UK. The Department is proud to host internationally leading research groups covering a broad range of activities and spread over several sites. Our staff and students have a diverse range of interests and expertise, covering many areas of engineering, physics, medicine, physiology, computer science, and mathematics. Our focus is on excellent academic research to identify new technologies and methods for the diagnosis, treatment and management of diseases. Affiliated with 8 major London hospitals, the Department is a key partner of UCL’s Institute of Healthcare Engineering and the Hawkes Institute, and works closely with other departments from the Faculty of Engineering Sciences, including Mechanical Engineering, Electronic and Electrical Engineering, and Computer Science.
