Farah Hamandi, Ph.D.

Farah Hamandi, Ph.D. is a biomedical engineer whose research and professional work focus on the biomechanics of bone, orthopedic constructs, and implantable medical devices. Her published work applies computational and experimental methods to understand how bone structure, material properties, and loading conditions interact to produce damage and fracture.

Her peer-reviewed publications, appearing in journals such as Computer Methods in Biomechanics and Biomedical Engineering, Bioengineering, and Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, address topics including finite element modeling of human bone, cyclic damage accumulation in femoral constructs using cephalomedullary nails, biomechanical behavior of tibiotalocalcaneal implant systems, and the hierarchical nano-level properties of bone tissue. Additional published work examines finite element modeling approaches for cardiac device leads and three-dimensional heart models, extending her computational expertise into the cardiovascular device space.

This body of work positions Dr. Hamandi to offer technical analysis in matters involving orthopedic implant performance, fracture mechanics, bone-implant construct failure, and medical device design, drawing on both published computational modeling methodology and applied biomechanical principles.
