About Andrew
Dr. Andrew Squelch serves as Adjunct Senior Lecturer in the Curtin School of Diagnostic and Therapeutic Sciences within the Faculty of Health Sciences at Curtin University. He also holds an adjunct senior lecturer position in the School of Earth and Planetary Sciences and is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the Centre for Exploration Geophysics. His academic background includes a BSc (Hons) from Camborne School of Mines, an MSc from the University of the Witwatersrand, and a PhD from the University of Nottingham. Squelch is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) and maintains professional memberships including the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (MAusIMM), Institute of Materials, Minerals and Mining (MIMMM), and Society for Mining, Metallurgy and Exploration (MSAIMM).
Squelch's research focuses on computational image analysis, 3D visualisation, and 3D printing, with applications to geoscience and medical imaging data, including 3D CT and microCT scans. His work has advanced pre-surgical planning through 3D printed models and virtual reality for conditions such as congenital heart disease, aortic aneurysms, aortic dissection, and biliary duct anomalies. Notable publications include '3D printing and medical imaging' (2018, Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences), '3D printing rocks for geo-educational, technical, and hobbyist pursuits' (2018, Geosphere), 'Modelling of aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection through 3D printing' (2017, Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences), 'Patient-specific 3D printed model of biliary ducts with congenital cyst' (2019, Quantitative Imaging in Medicine and Surgery), 'Optimization of Computed Tomography Angiography Protocols for Follow-Up Type B Aortic Dissection Patients by Using 3D Printed Model' (2021, Journal of Imaging), and 'Investigation of the Clinical Value of Four Visualization Modalities for Congenital Heart Disease' (2024, Journal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease). With over 50 publications and more than 870 citations, his contributions span geophysics visualization, medical modelling, and sustainable mining simulations using mixed reality. Previously affiliated with the Department of Exploration Geophysics at the Western Australian School of Mines and involved in Pawsey Supercomputing Centre projects, Squelch has also chaired the Education Committee of the Australian Society of Exploration Geophysicists.
