Sydney Vascular Modelling Group
Designing healthier hearts with engineering innovations.
Mission
SVMG at UNSW, Sydney is focused on bioengineering research, training and translation using the latest technologies. We're centred around the motivation to improve treatment outcomes and enable early risk detection for cardiovascular patients.
Values
Teamwork • Excellence • Inclusivity
Impact
Our academic performance generates new insights and guidelines to transform clinical practice. We work closely with national and international clinicians, hospitals and medical research centres, including the Prince of Wales Hospital, Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute and Intracare.
"The great aim of education is not knowledge but action."

Get involved
Students
- Be part of a supportive, diverse and collaborative research environment to excel.
- Access to a range of funding and scholarship opportunities for PhD and general research.
- Join us at UNSW with world-class facilities as a top 50 global university.
Several exciting PhD research projects evolved from this vision. Major research projects led by our graduate students include the Coronary Atlas, stent design optimisation and early risk prediction through machine learning. These topics are standalone, independent research topics or directly initiated and guided by the biomedical industry. They focus on computer engineering, and computer science, exploring general engineering principles, biological processes and translational research to improve human health.
