Summary
Marlène Mengoni is an EPSRC Research Fellow and Associate Professor at the University of Leeds with 11 years of experience developing digital twins for preclinical benchtop testing to accelerate early interventions. Her work sits at the intersection of computational biomechanics and translational medical engineering, building predictive models that bridge laboratory experiments and clinical decision-making. She progressed through academic ranks from doctoral research in computational biomechanics to senior fellowships supported by RAEng and Leverhulme, demonstrating sustained research leadership and grant success. Based in Greater Leeds, she combines hands-on model development with interdisciplinary collaboration across mechanical, medical and materials engineering. Notably, her career includes international research stints—ETH Zurich, University of Auckland and University of Liège—reflecting a global perspective on bioengineering challenges. Colleagues value her pragmatic approach to turning complex experimental data into robust digital tools for earlier, evidence-driven interventions.
