Rate My Professor Peter Hilton

Peter Hilton serves as Research Facilitator at the Centre for Bioengineering & Nanomedicine, University of Otago Christchurch, within the Division of Health Sciences. In this capacity, he coordinates research activities, provides administrative support to PhD students and research teams, and facilitates projects in bioengineering domains including biomaterials, spectral photon-counting CT imaging, orthopaedic applications, and regenerative medicine. He is listed under the biomaterials lead team on the centre's official people page and operates from the 5th Floor Student Area in Christchurch.

Peter Hilton has been with the University of Otago since June 2011, bringing expertise as a practicing researcher, science project manager, and photonics specialist. His contributions are frequently acknowledged in doctoral theses from the University of Otago, Christchurch, including works on motion measurement algorithms for MARS imaging by F. Asghariomabad (2020), bone-related applications of spectral photon counting CT by A. Matanaghi (2021), study of bone-metal interface in orthopaedic applications using spectral CT by M.R. Amma (2020), image processing for MARS spectral CT by J.S. Sheeja (2021), high resolution spectral photon-counting CT for bone and joint research by K.M. Chapagain (2022), and modular assembly for in vitro applications. He has supported student research presentations, ethics approvals, scanner operations, and PhD scholarship recruitments, such as for 3D printed orthopaedic implants and implant topology optimisation projects. Hilton assists with coordination for the MARS imaging team and related clinical translation efforts.
