Biography
Joanne Choi conducts experimental and observational research in dental materials, craniofacial biology and clinical oral physiology. He carries out qualitative and quantitative analysis of the mechanical properties and failure mechanisms of restorative dental systems. He also carries out observational research in the oral environment using portable measurement systems. For his PhD, he developed and validated a wired sensor system to monitor intraoral pH and temperature for long-term periods, the results of which can be used in identifying and evaluating causal factors involved with dental wear. He is also involved in forensic biomechanics research to investigate the brain injury in children due to falls. In addition, he is part of the Biomechanics and Oral Implantology and Craniofacial Biology Programmes of the Sir John Walsh Research Institute.
