I am a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for Orthopaedic Biomechanics, University of Denver, specializing in computational orthopaedic biomechanics. My research focuses on applying finite element methods to address clinically relevant questions, including joint mechanics, bone remodeling, and implant stability, with the goal of understanding joint biomechanics, improving implant performance, and optimizing surgical techniques. Over the past ten years at the center, I have built extensive expertise in orthopaedic biomechanics, computational modeling, and finite element analysis.

Current Research

My current projects include developing and validating computational models for orthopaedic implant evaluation across multiple joint systems (hip, knee, spine, etc.); simulating lower limb activities to assess implant kinematic performance; assess capsule-musle contributions to hip joint stability and dislocation risk after total hip arthroplasty; Collaborating industry partners on implant design optimization and clinical evaluation; supporting surgical planning, prototype testing, and design iteration through biomechanical simulation.
