Biography:Jonathan Jeffers
Jonathan Jeffers is a mechanical engineer and Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Imperial College London.[1] He was awarded a Research Professorship by the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR),[2][3] the first engineer to receive this award.[4] His research focuses on improving surgical treatment of osteoarthritis.[1]
Early life and education
Jonathan Jeffers studied Mechanical Engineering at Trinity College Dublin. He also has a PhD from the University of Southampton.[1]
Career and research
His research focuses on topics such as orthopedic implants,[5][6] external stabilisers for broken bones[7][8] and biomechanics in hip surgery.[9] He is also a co-investigator at the Smart Materials Hub of the UK Regenerative Medicine Platform.[10] During the COVID-19 pandemic he worked on 3D printing FFP3 face masks through injection moulding.[11]
He was awarded an NIHR Research Professorship in 2019[2] for his research on improving treatment options for osteoarthritis after early intervention orthopaedic surgery.[3]
Jeffers is the Chief Technology Officer of OSSTEC, a company that manufactures orthopaedic implants using 3D printing.[1][12]
