Podcast: Designing Medical Devices Using Computational Modeling

Arthur G. Erdman, the Richard C. Jordan Professor, Morse Alumni Distinguished Teaching Professor, and Director of the Medical Devices Center at the University of Minnesota, talks with Chitra Sethi, managing editor of ASME.org about the history, current status, and benefits of using computational models for designing medical devices and the need for standardization of these computational modeling techniques.

Dr. Erdman has received a number of awards including the ASME Machine Design Award and the ASME Outstanding Design Educator Award. He is a Fellow of ASME and a Founding Fellow of AIMBE. Dr. Erdman currently has a number of ongoing projects, of which many are related to biomedical engineering and medical device design. He led the effort to create LINCAGES, a mechanism software design package that has been used worldwide.
