Edward Ebramzadeh, Ph.D., is the Director of the Implant Performance Division of the Biomechanics Laboratory at Orthopaedic Hospital/UCLA. Dr. Ebramzadeh has been involved in biomechanics since 1982, after he obtained his Bachelor and Master degrees both in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Southern California. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Department of Biomaterials/Handicap Research, Göteborg University, Sweden, on survival analysis of cemented total hip replacements. Under Dr. Ebramzadeh, the Implant Performance Laboratory is involved in testing, evaluation and modelling of mechanical behavior of orthopaedic implants and devices, including joint replacements and hardware for fracture fixation and soft tissue repair. In addition, Dr. Ebramzadeh established the Research Computing Facility at Orthopaedic Hospital, which has supported numerous research projects by assisting in experimental design, data acquisition and statistical analysis of data.
