Background

Claire Rosnel is a biomedical engineer working at the interface of engineering, medical imaging, and clinical cardiovascular research. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow in medical image analysis funded by the British Heart Foundation Research Excellence Award 4 at the University of Edinburgh. Her work provides expertise in advanced image analysis for large-scale human and translational studies, using quantitative imaging and computational analysis, primarily in cardiovascular and neurological research.

She completed her PhD in computational biomechanics at the University of Glasgow, in collaboration with UCL and the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London. She developed workflows combining MRI-based image analysis, patient-specific finite element modelling, and inverse parameter estimation to investigate aortic mechanics in paediatric patients with connective tissue disorders.

Building on this foundation, her current work expands toward multimodal imaging and interactions between systems, bridging cardiovascular and neurological research to better understand complex disease mechanisms.

Research summary

I am interested in exploring links between cardiovascular and neurological systems using quantitative imaging and computational analysis. My work centres on interdisciplinary collaboration, bringing together expertise from engineering, imaging science, bioinformatics, machine learning and clinical research to address complex biological questions. My interests also include translating computational tools into useful clinical decision support.
