On Monday, Prof. Khurshid Alam gave an insightful guest lecture as part of the Rehabilitation Technology, opens an external URL in a new window course, titled “Structural and Biological Damage in Bone in Conventional and Ultrasonic Drilling” The lecture was met with great interest from both students and staff.

Prof. Alam received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on Biomechanics from Loughborough University (UK) and is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Sultan Qaboos University. He previously held teaching and research positions at several renowned institutions, including the University of Strathclyde (UK), NUST, GIK Institute, and Air University in Pakistan. He has authored over 80 scientific publications in international journals and conferences. His research interests include biomechanics, the optimization of surgical bone procedures, and the design and development of biomedical devices.

The core of his lecture focused on analyzing the structural and biological effects of conventional versus ultrasonic drilling techniques on bone tissue. Prof. Alam presented recent research findings that contribute significantly to improving surgical procedures and minimizing tissue damage.

A heartfelt thank you to Prof. Khurshid Alam for his engaging and informative contribution, which sparked great interest among students and faculty alike, enriched the course content, and provided valuable impulses for both research and teaching in the field of rehabilitation technology.
