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.
