Maxwell Sakyi received his BSc in Biomedical Engineering from the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology in 2019 in Ghana and his MS in Biomedical Engineering from Arizona State University in 2020 (MS 3+1+1). Leveraging his signal processing experience from his master’s program - where he developed algorithms using time-series and frequency-domain techniques for fall detection and segmentation of activities of daily living from large-scale wearable sensor data in Parkinson’s disease cohorts, he now applies similar analytical approaches to orthopedic research. He analyzes data generated by instrumented mechanical testing systems to study biological tissues and implants. He investigates bone, cartilage, and joint mechanics in support of developing clinically relevant models and analytical tools for translational research. This effort is complemented by micro-CT imaging for histomorphometric analysis of bone architecture, remodeling and fracture risk assessment. He is also involved in using high speed 3D imaging systems and digital image correlation in assessing strain and deformation in biological tissues and engineered constructs.
