Ph.D. Candidate
Department of Mechanical Engineering
Biomedical Manufacturing and Design Lab, Wu Manufacturing Research Center
G.G. Brown Building, 2350 Hayward St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109
Research Focus: Additive manufacturing, Orthotic and Prosthetic Devices, Surgical Devices
Robert Chisena received his Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University Schreyer Honors College. During the final two years of college, Robert worked on developing a new approach to understanding the mechanical properties of tissues comprising tubular structures such as the esophagus and arteries. His Schreyer Honors Thesis can be found here. Because of this work, Robert gained an interest in biomechanical research and material and tissue characterization.
Robert grew up in Long Island, New York and plans to move back to the east coast in the future.
Research Interests:
Robert's research interests include custom additive manufacturing of orthotics and prosthetics, material characterization, and the understanding and development of surgical devices. Robert eventually would like to work in the surgical device industry studying and implementing new orthopaedic devices.
