Research / Scholarly interests
Professor Tozzi’s research is devoted to the understanding of structure-function of biological tissues and biomaterials, aimed at informing product development for industry as well as clinical practice for traumatic and pathological conditions. To investigate such complex structures, he has integrated high-resolution X-ray computed tomography, experimental mechanics, measuring techniques such as digital volume correlation and, more recently, artificial intelligence. In this field he pioneered research that advanced the understanding of tissue/biomaterial mechanical properties and produced a profound technological advancement.
Professor Tozzi has authored over 100 papers and serves as reviewer for UK/international funding agencies and peer-reviewed journals. He has secured funding in excess of £3M from various grants as well as direct support from industry, where the research produced a tangible impact with commercial exploitation.
Professor Tozzi is a member of the Centre for Advanced Manufacturing and Materials
