Martyn Nash is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering, and Deputy Director of the Auckland Bioengineering Institute, at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. The primary focus of his research career has been on bioengineering analyses of the heart in order to understand mechanisms underlying electromechanical cardiac muscle activity in health and disease. Dr. Nash is also engaged in the design and refinement of experimental techniques, bioinstrumentation and medical devices, and model-based approaches to medical image analysis to deepen understanding of biological systems. He strives to improve diagnostic techniques, and aid in the discovery and monitoring of therapies for prevention and treatment of disease, to ultimately improve patient management and care. Dr. Nash is an elected Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, and Senior Member of IEEE and EMBS. He also serves on the Board of Directors for Functional Imaging and Modelling of the Heart (FIMH) biannual international conference, and editorial boards of the international journals Biomechanics and Modeling in Mechanobiology, and Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering.

Dr. Nash has supervised 34 PhD, 16 Masters and 64 Honours dissertation students, and has authored more than 150 international journals articles and 40 book chapters, which have collectively attracted more than 8000 Google Scholar citations to-date.
