SPEAKER
David completed a BSc (Hons) in Industrial Chemistry and a PhD in Chemical Engineering from the UNSW. David started his career working for a medical device start-up, working on a novel polymeric ophthalmic medical device that was commercialised and acquired by a Fortune 500 company. 

Since joining Royal Perth Hospital in 2006, David has worked on the design and manufacture of medical devices, specialising in patient-specific medical devices for neurosurgery, maxillofacial, spinal, orthopaedics and more. David is the co-inventor of “Living Bone”, which is currently in neurosurgical human clinical trials and was a finalist in the WA Innovator of the Year awards. David has extensive experience with biocompatible polymers and has published in peer-reviewed polymer, tissue engineering and medical journals.

In addition to his role at Royal Perth Hospital, David currently works two days per week for Perth Biodesign where he teaches and mentors the next generation of innovators, as well as working on projects involving infrastructure development, particularly with respect to biomedical engineering
