Trosolwyg

Prof Cathy Holt is a Prof of Biomechanics and Orthopaedic Engineering, in the Health, Technology and the Digital World research theme, Cardiff School of Engineering, Cardiff University. She received her honours degree in Mechanical Engineering from University College Cardiff (1988), and her PhD from Cardiff University (1993), UK.

She is the Biomedical Engineering Research Group Leader and the Director of the Musculoskeletal Biomehcanics research Facility.

As a Co-PI for the Arthritis Research UK Biomechanics and Bioengineering Centre, she Directs the Biomechanics Research.

She Chairs the School of Engineering Equality and Diversity Committee and has been a prominent figure for ongoing Athena Swan initiatives in he School which has a Bronze Award,

She is a Chartered Engineering and FIMechE. She Chairs the IMechE Biomedical Engineering Association Board and Orthopardics TAC and sits on the REAng Biomedical Panel, is a member of the Biomedical Engineering Special Interest Group as a member of the Institiute of Physics and Engineering in Medicine, and also the IPEM/IET/IMechE Biomedical Engineering Working Group.

Prof Holts main research interests are in 3D motion analysis, biomechanics and orthopaedic engineering. She has an international reputation for her research in the area of analysis and classification of joint function and novel applications of motion capture.

Her ideas for developing motion capture, analysis and classification for orthopaedics and functional changes due to degenerative joint disease and surgical intervention have led to securing, with colleagues, external grant support of over £25 million. This is through interdisciplinary, collaborative research, infrastructure and equipment, across several Schools and includes >£5M in personal income from EPSRC/ARUK/WT ISSF/MRC CIC/HI/WG/Ser Cymru

Her cross-school vision led to the co-coordination of a successful bid for the cross-disciplinary Arthritis Research UK Biomechanics and Bioengineering Centre which has attracted £4.5M from Arthritis Research UK (since 2009) and over £10M from 6 Cardiff University Schools. She is the Biomechanics Research Directorfor the Centre.

She is the Director for the £5M Welsh Government and Cardiff University funded) Musculoskeletal Biomechancis Research Facility and was recenetly awarded an EPSRC OATech NetworkPlus, brigning together academics, clinicians and industry across to the UK.

Dr Holt collaborates with UK and international universities and industrial companies from several countries, has provided research leadership on projects funded by Research Councils, Charity and Industry, and contributed over 100 refereed research papers to International Journals and Conferences in countries including the UK, USA and Europe.

She referees for several international journals and was Guest Editor for the International Journal of Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering. Dr Holt has been a project reviewer for the European Commission, proposal evaluator for international and UK Research Councils, member of the EPSRC Peer Review College and an assessor for several charities.
