Benjamin Owen

Welcome to our group's website. The group is lead by Dr Benjamin Owen, a Chancellor's Fellow at the University of Edinburgh. The group's research focuses on how simulations of biomedical flows can be translated into clinical practice for diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, requiring expertise from Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, Mathematics, and Biology as well as clinical expertise from our collaborators. If you are interested in finding out more information about our research please visit the Research pages or the Publications page.

2/5/25 Roslyn takes part in Soapbox Science Event in Edinburgh

Roslyn recently took part in the Soapbox Science outreach event in Edinburgh, where she shared her research into earlier cancer diagnostics with the public in an engaging and accessible way. Standing on a literal soapbox in the heart of the city, she joined fellow women scientists in breaking down barriers between science and society, sparking conversations and inspiring curiosity among audiences of all ages. Her enthusiasm, clarity, and passion for her work made a strong impression and reflected her commitment to both research excellence and public engagement.
