Dr. Goswami is an associate professor in the department of Biomedical, Industrial and Human Factors Engineering and in the college of medicine, department of Orthopaedics. He has a terminal degree, doctor of science, in mechanical engineering and a master of engineering (honors) in materials engineering. He has been working in industry and academia for the last twenty years studying the material behavior under fatigue, creep, wear, and other failure modes in a range of applications. The applications were in military engines, aircraft structures, and in biomedical applications such as ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder and other total joint replacements. His research include developing wear prediction models to develop longer lasting total joint replacements and developing materials for such applications. Dr. Goswami is the author of numerous articles in international and national journals and conference proceedings. He has on-going grants from Zimmer Inc., Copeland Corporation and DePuy Spine. He would like to encourage students from undergraduate/graduate and residency programs to see him to work on a research and/or clinical project on the above topics.
