Biomedical signal processing with applications in neurophysiology and cardio-vascular and cerebro-vascular control
Blood flow control in the brain (how does the brain regulate is own blood supply and how to detect impairment of this function)
Auditory evoked potentials (methods to detect the small electrical responses of the brain to auditory stimulation for the assessment of various hearing disorders)
experimental hydrodynamics: the efficient use of experiments at both model and full-scale to measure the hydrodynamic performance of various ship types and maritime artefacts
human element: to integrate human performance into the design of high speed planning craft
performance sports engineering: experimental and numerical approaches, often originally developed for ships, adapted for use in performance sports such as swimming, rowing, sailing, canoeing ans skeleton
