Dr. Steve Taylor

Biography

Stephen JG Taylor received a BSc in Electrical Electronic Engineering from the University of Bath in 1979. He worked in electrical instrument development for two years before entering the medical telemetry field. He obtained an MSc in Medical Electronics Physics in 1983 from the University of London. After a period in industrial instrumentation, he became a Senior Research Fellow at the UCL Institute of Orthopaedics and Musculoskeletal Science. He earned his PhD in 1998 at UCL and became a Lecturer in Biomedical Engineering at IOMS, UCL in 2004. In October 2015, he was promoted to Reader in Musculoskeletal Instrumentation Telemetry. He developed instrumented orthopaedic implants and associated telemetry systems, including calibration rigs for measuring dynamic joint forces in vivo, and conducted clinical trials to study implant loosening mechanics and forces. He designed a novel magnetic drive system for non-invasive bone tumour paediatric limb lengthening, with over 1,700 implants successfully performed on children globally. He is the author or co-author of approximately 30 journal articles.
