Welcome to the Orthopedic Biomechanics and Implant Design Group

· Do you know that bone is a smart material which can adapt itself with the amount of loading it experiences?

· Have you ever wondered why do people have joint pains and how does joint replacement mitigate the problem?

· Do you want to explore the design philosophy behind joint replacement implants?

If any of these answers is yes, then you are on the right place!

The Orthopedic Biomechanics and Implant Design group is focused on understanding the mechanics of implant-bone system. The joint replacement surgeries are expected to restore the normal joint movements in the patients. However, sometimes these joint replacements fail and require revision surgeries which are both time-consuming and expensive. The Orthopedic Biomechanics and Implant Design group, led by Dr. Kaushik Mukherjee, is exploring the biomechanical causes behind the failure of the implant-bone system with an aim to design better and improved joint replacement implants.

We are actively looking for Postdoctoral candidates and PhD/MS(R) students. If you are from Mechanical Engineering/Biomedical Engineering/Bioengineering background and willing to work in this interdisciplinary area, please drop me an email with your CV and 1-page Motivation letter. Candidates from other background(s) with suitable experience(s) are also encouraged to contact me for possible vacancies.
