My primary interests are in computational biomechanics and computational geometry and applications in computer assisted surgery, medical planning, simulation and analysis. Most of my work is focused on applications in orthopaedic surgery, primarily on the adult reconstruction surgery. Our computer assisted surgical system for total hip replacement - HipNav, is currently used in clinical pre-trials in UPMC Shadyside. My current work includes development of new image guided surgical systems and applications, and development of robust methods for patient-specific computational biomechanics models.
