Research interests
Mechanical Testing of Circular External Fixation Frames (CEFF):
- Assessing variations of circular external fixation frames and components used within tibia fracture fixation
- Experimenting with conventional and novel methods of measuring stiffness, stress and strains across the constructs
Computational Modeling of Circular External Fixation Frames:
- Generating and validating models of CEFFs using previously collected data and literature
- Prediciting bone healing outcomes based on patient factors
