The Clarkson University Orthopaedic Biomechanics Laboratory is now closed.

From 2009 to 2024, the lab trained 9 graduate and 35 undergraduate researchers. We pushed the boundaries of orthopaedic research using the finest locally-harvested materials and advanced biomedical engineering knowledge, specifically about biomechanics. Lab alumni (including Dr. K.) now hold positions in academia, industry, and government.

This site is now archival as of 6/15/2024.

Biomechanics, a type of biomedical engineering, applies engineering principles to biological applications to reveal relationships between structure, function, and injury.

From the human movement to the microarchitecture of bone, the Biomechanics Laboratory at Clarkson University studies problems of all scales. Mathematical modeling and experimental work are combined to study the orthopedic structure and function of the human body.
