Joshua Johnson, PhD
Joshua Johnson received his BEng in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Botswana in 2006, and his MS in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Kansas in 2008. He received his PhD in Mechanical Engineering also from the University of Kansas in 2013. His doctoral work involved applying imaging and computational methods to study the influence of ligament injuries on wrist joint biomechanics and the effectiveness of surgical techniques to restore abnormal joint mechanics. Prior to his current role, he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute where he received training in bone mechanics and conducted research on various factors affecting bone health. As a Research Engineer, he currently provides support on projects related to computational modeling and image analysis, which include assessment of bone quality, mechanics and failure risk, intact and reconstructed joint mechanics, and implant mechanical and stability performance.
