Fraser is a British mechanical engineer with a background in biofabrication and computational modelling. He completed his MEng in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Edinburgh in 2020, before spending a year in industry at The Electrospinning Company, Oxford, in 2021, developing nanofibrous scaffolds for musculoskeletal applications. He then joined the Advanced Biomedical Materials CDT at the University of Manchester for his PhD, which he completed in 2025. His doctoral research focused on developing an automated biofabrication platform for microfibre reinforced hydrogels for cartilage tissue engineering, utilising computational modelling for scaffold design and process optimisation.

From 2026 he joined MERLN as a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Complex Tissue Regeneration Department under the supervision of Prof. Lorenzo Moroni, working within the MECCANO ERC Advanced Grant project. His research focuses on developing a computational and machine learning framework to rationally design metamaterial scaffolds that direct iPSC differentiation through mechanical stimulation, with the aim of creating a generalisable platform for mechanobiology-driven tissue engineering.
