Biography

Hannah J. Lundberg, PhD, is an associate professor in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery. She is interested in the biomechanical function of human joints (natural and implanted). Her laboratory combines novel computational and experimental modalities to better represent joint function in vivo and improve surgical outcomes. Current emphases are using computer modeling to predict the following:

  • Total knee replacement forces and behavior during everyday life
  • Wear of total knee replacements
  • Biomechanical behavior of total hip replacement modular taper junctions
