Development of Control Methodologies for Drug Dosing in Biomedical Engineering (transferred to University of Melbourne)

An active and distinctive area of medicine suited for applications and developments of control designs is clinical pharmacology. In particular, the benefits of the use of drug dosing control designs can relieve the clinician in part of their decision process and improve the quality of drug dosing by providing drug administration policies, which pursue multiple control objectives. We aim to use, extend and advance methodologies of adaptive and nonlinear control theory to develop tools and design techniques for hemodynamic (blood pressure) management and control of consciousness.
