Associate Professor Chadd Clary

Biography

What I do I specialize in the design, development, and evaluation of new medical devices and surgical techniques with a focus on total joint replacement. I conduct research using specialized experimental and computational methods to better understand how the performance of joint replacement can be maximized to improve outcomes for patients receiving these devices. Specialization(s) Orthopaedic Biomechanics Total Joint Replacement Experimental Methods Computational Modeling Professional Biography Prior to joining the faculty at the University of Denver, I spent seven years working for a major medical device company developing new total knee and hip replacement technology. Now at the University of Denver, I leverage the lessons I learned developing medical devices to conduct research that will lead to improved outcomes for patients with total joint replacement. I have a particular research interests in developing improved experimental and computational tools to evaluate orthopaedic medical devices and development of patient movement tracking technology that can be deployed outside the lab to better characterize the performance of patients with osteoarthritis and joint replacement. I also have an interest in entrepreneurship and supporting medical device start-ups to enable the transition of ideas from our research into products that can truly impact patients lives.
