Current Research


Dr. Tharaka Dissanayake is active in biomedical electronics research at the University of Newcastle,

When one in five Australians suffer from some form of disability and there is a risk of this proportion growing as the population is ageing, governments are indeed under pressure of minimizing social and economic impact of the consequences. Hence the technology development in healthcare sector is a national priority. Engineering solutions have obviously improved medical treatment and diagnosis. Prosthesis has come long way since Pirate Hooks and our research develops novel implantable technologies for future medical diagnosis, treatment and prostheses.
