Kawal Rhode is an English biomedical engineer. He is a full professor of biomedical engineering and the head of education at the School of Biomedical Engineering and Imaging Sciences at King's College London (KCL), England, United Kingdom. ^[1]

Biography

Rhode completed his BSc degree at the Guy's & St. Thomas' Hospitals Medical School, and PhD at the University College London. ^[2] He then started working at KCL in 2001 as a post-doctoral scientist in the area of image-guided interventions. He worked on the image registration methods to register cardiac MRI and X-ray fluoroscopy data. He progressed to the post of a lecturer in 2007, and senior lecturer in 2011, Reader in 2015, and a full-professor in 2016. He oversees the engineering, sciences, and iBSc courses at bachelor's and master's levels.

His research focuses on image processing based guided surgical interventions, 3D printing, cardiac biophysical modelling in humans, medical robotics, and pedagogy for biomedical engineering. ^{[3] [4]}

His research on pacemakers in patients is mentioned in Science Newsletters. ^[5] He was covered in a news article for developing a novel steerable catheter in a collaborative effort between KCL and Cambridge Design Partnership (CDP). ^{[6] [7] [8] [9]} Rhode was also covered by BioScience Today, where he spoke with Ellen Rossiter explaining him about his research work, inspirations, and motivations behind his research in the area of biomedical engineering. ^[10]
