Designing healthier hearts with engineering innovations
SVMG at the University of New South Wales UNSW, Sydney, is focused on bioengineering research, training and translation using the latest technologies, centred around the motivation to improve treatment outcomes and enable early risk detection for cardiovascular patients.
Mission
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.”

Students
Be part of a supportive, diverse, and collaborative research environment where you can excel.
Access to a range of funding and scholarship opportunities for PhD and general research.
Join us at UNSW, with world-class facilities, as Australia’s #1 and globally #20 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 projects or are directly initiated and guided by the biomedical industry, and they focus on computer engineering, computer science, general engineering principles, biological processes, and translational research to improve human health.

Researchers
Get involved in the largest Sydney biomedical program dedicated to cardiovascular modelling. Our engineering team works across fundamental and applied vascular research. We aim to improve the understanding of underlying mechanisms, optimise treatment outcomes and enable better prevention using the latest bioengineering and biomedical technologies.
Industry
We work with companies across various settings, from contract research to short- and long-term joint innovation projects, in a collaborative environment.
