Christian Puttlitz, PhD
Department Head (ME) & Professor or Mechanical Engineering and Biomedical Engineering
Areas of Collaborative Interest:
Dr. Puttlitz and his team have global interests in how engineering mechanics can be applied towards solving orthopaedic-related problems. These interests typically include both experimental and computational modeling in order to better understand the underlying tissue-level mechanics and related mechanobiology. Current areas of investigation in his lab include non-linear viscoelastic modeling of soft tissues, technology development for prediction of fracture healing outcomes, and additive manufacturing for scaffold and regenerative medicine application.
Please see the Orthopaedic Bioengineernig Research Laboratory Website for specific collaboration needs.
