Joint Engineering

Design of medical devices that intuitively join with users

as a biomechanical engineer I strive to apply a multidisciplinary approach for the development of innovative medical devices that enable optimal orthopedic joint care

Collaborative design

View my design approach and explore the exciting collaborative projects on joint engineering via the 'Projects' section. and the 'Collaborations' section.

Sharing knowledge and expertise

As much as I enjoy to broaden my knowledge and experience, I desire to share it via many courses focused on the design of medical devices. Please check out 'Projects - Education' section.
