He is a Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers of Ireland. He is a past-president of the Section of Bioengineering of the Royal Academy of Medicine in Ireland (2000-2002), and a Past-President of the European Society of Biomechanics (2002-2004). He won the Parsons Medal in Engineering Science from the Royal Irish Academy in 2003. His research interests are in biomechanics and implant design, and in tissue engineering and mechanobiology. He was Dean of Graduate Studies at the University of Dublin from 2004-2007. In 2007 he was President of the European Alliance of Medical and Biological Engineering Societies. Also in 2007 he obtained a Chair in Bio-Engineering. In March 2008 he was elected to membership of the Royal Irish Academy. In July 2009 he was invited to deliver the Wartenweiler Memorial Lecture at the International Society of Biomechanics in Capetown, South Africa.
