Professor 

Research Interest: Evaluation of the degradation products of materials used in musculoskeletal implants and their impact on the patient’s health. Current focus is on the recovery and characterization of nanoparticles generated by the wear of orthopedic joint replacements and consequent evaluation of their local and systemic biological effects.

Assistant Professor

Professor
Research Interest: Evaluating the biomechanical performance and durability of orthopaedic implants, devices, and surgical procedures, particularly joint reconstruction, fracture fixation, and spine stabilization. Designing custom apparatuses to apply physiological loads and motions to implant-bone constructs to determine how their clinical performance is affected by the design of the implant, and the strength and stability of the fixation.
