Why I'm a JPAL
To help Johnson and Johnson evaluate technologies that will better enable our product development process and help us be more innovative. I am interested in companies that have simulation, computational biomechanics, and predictive capabilities for orthopedics. I am also interested in evaluating orthopedic devices and solutions based on biomechanical performance.
Bio
I have over 25 years of experience with design, computer aided engineering, testing, simulation and structural analysis, biomechanics, and computational biomechanics. I have a B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering. Ph.D research focused on spine computational biomechanics, probabilistics and optimization. Over 25 years experience in the CAD/CAM/CAE and medical device industry.
