Thrilled to share that my latest research has been published in IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering! "Evaluation of a Fast-Solving Rigid Body Spine Model Inclusive of Intra-Abdominal Pressure" ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/109... #biomechanics #spine #orthopaedics #digitaltwin #robotics

Can analogue spine models behave physiologically? We recently published 2 papers on this. They report our analogue spine's mechanical behaviour similar to living spines which we use to corroborate our in silico spine models and test spine implants in a controlled and validated environment.

L3-L4 fusion simulation on a lumbar spine phantom. We wanted to see if our 3D printed phantom could realistically simulate range of motion compensation in adjacent levels when fused. Results to come. #spine #biomechsky #biomechanics #mdsim #mcgill

CT of a stiffness-optimized #3Dprinted spine phantom for an upcoming study.

Today is the last day of classes for the "Intro to #MSK #biomechanics" course I'm teaching this semester. This has been such a privileged and rewarding experience for me. Got to #teach a very bright bunch of students. Looking forward to many more of these.!

Let's see if we can make @bsky.app the home of the spine research community go.bsky.app/DBKUvJq

Just got here from the other side, so I thought I'd give an intro. I'm a PhD candidate working with Dr. Mark Driscoll at McGill University, studying #spine #biomechanics, building 3D printed spine phantoms, muscles, and robotic benchtops of the human spine. siril.me for my full list of pubs.
