In the past 8 years, Prof. Farrugia was involved in a number of research funded projects related to the development of healthcare devices, in particular in speech and language therapy and rehabilitation. His current research interests include Data Driven Design, Design for Health and Well-being, Design of Product Service Systems, Design for Additive Manufacturing and Human Factors in Design. In the PREMIERTOGO project, Prof. Farrugia will provide his expertise on improving the aesthetics of a smart above the knee prosthesis, using generative design. 

Prof. Jonathan Borg has been conducting research for over 30 years on the impact of design across the entire product life cycle, with a focus on design methods and product development technologies such as CAD/CAM, 3D printing, CNC, AI and more recently Exoskeletons. His work explores how these methodologies and digital technologies collectively drive innovation, efficiency, and flexibility in Industry 5.0 manufacturing environments. He currently applies his expertise to advancing smart biomedical devices and product-service systems (PSS). 

Prof. Ing. Owen Casha has over fifteen years of experience in integrated circuit design and has a particular interest in the design of assistive devices. Prof. Casha was the co-investigator in a number of EU and National funded research projects including LAB4MEMS, LAB4MEMS II, ESAIRQ-PENTA, SPEECHIE, SMARTCLAP and SALTT-CITY. 

Prof Alfred Gatt is highly involved in lower limb biomechanics research and his main areas of interest include CADCAM orthopedic design, gait analysis and foot pressure mapping, amongst others. In the PREMIERTOGO project, Prof. Gatt will provide his expertise on the application of the designed prosthetic design. 

Nicholas is a Research and Development Engineer with an interest in the design of medical and rehabilitation devices. Throughout his academic career, Nicholas has focused on the design and development of smart prosthesis and supporting service systems. This has given Nicholas an opportunity to develop multi-disciplinary skills beneficial to the PREMIERTOGO project. 

Adrian is an Engineering Research Officer with a passion for product design, generative design, and additive manufacturing. His undergraduate project on generative design for an upper limb smart wearable sparked his interest in assistive devices. The skills gained are highly relevant to the PREMIERTOGO project, where he aims to enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a smart above-knee prosthesis through user-centred design.
