I am mainly interested in studying the biomechanical factors triggering knee osteoarthritis. For that, we have developed a finite element-based workflow to model hundreds of knees within a reasonable computation time. Each model accounts for the personalized characteristics of subjects that may be linked to the risk of developing this painful and irreversible disease. Our ultimate goal is to provide patients and clinicians with a tool to envision preventive treatments.
