Biomechanics Specialization

Biomechanics requires an integrative understanding of physiology and mechanics. Design of medical devices including choice of materials, tissue mechanics and computational mechanics modeling, are focuses of our program that reflect the rigorous mechanical engineering backbone. Applications in orthopedic, cardiovascular medicine range from microscopic MEMS to joint kinematics and computers in the surgical ward.
