Dr Elise Pegg is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath, and an Orthopaedic Research UK Early-career Research Fellow. Dr Pegg's research is in the fields of Biomaterials and Biomechanics with a focus on orthopaedic applications. After completing her doctorate at the University of Nottingham, Dr Pegg worked in the orthopaedic industry for three years as a research engineer, after which she decided to return to academia and moved to the University of Oxford to become a post-doctoral researcher within the Nuffield Department of Orthopaedics, Rheumatology and Musculoskeletal Sciences where she gained valuable insight into clinical practice. Dr Pegg and her research team at the University of Bath are working on developing new computational tools to understand and improve healthcare treatment, with a particular focus on surgical repair of the ankle and knee joints, as well as looking into innovative materials for medical applications to improve performance.
