Research Focus
Dr. Ahmet Erdemir's lab focuses on improving the accuracy and consistency of knee biomechanics simulations. They work on developing standardized modeling workflows to ensure that simulations can reliably predict knee mechanics, which is important for understanding musculoskeletal diseases and improving surgical outcomes. The research aims to make computational models more accessible and reproducible, which can ultimately help in clinical decision-making and personalized medicine for patients with knee issues.
