Dr. Bernardo Innocenti

Lead Project Manager Numerical Kinematics
European Centre for Knee Research, Smith&Nephew
Technologielaan 11 bis, Leuven
 

Brief Biography:


Master degree in mechanical engineering in the field of biomechanics at the University of Florence with a thesis on “Development of a numerical model of a cardiomyocyte” (2002). PhD in mechanical engineering in the field of numerical modeling of orthopaedic implants at the University of Florence with a thesis on “Analysis of bone remodeling in a prosthetized femur” (2005).

Bernardo Innocenti worked from 2002 until 2007 for an orthopaedic design company making FEA models of orthopaedic devices and of biological systems. He worked at Florence University in the Laboratory of Industrial Bioengineering (BioLAB) until April 2007 on developing numerical biologic models and on prosthesis design, first as a research assistant, later as a postdoc and assistant professor.

He is a contract professor for the courses of Biomaterials and Medical Devices at the faculty of Surgery and Architecture. He is the author of several articles in international journals and conferences. He joined Smith & Nephew and the European Centre for Knee Research in May 2007 as the Project Manager for Numerical Kinematics.

In October 2011 he become Guest Professor at the Division of Biomechanics, Department of Mechanical Engineering, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven.
