Patrick Dumond

Associate Professor Patrick Dumond holds a Ph.D., M.A.Sc., and B.A.Sc. from the University of Ottawa. He is affiliated with the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering. His research focuses on vibration/acoustic system design, inverse eigenvalue methods, biomechanical design, design theory, musical acoustics, and experiential engineering education. He actively contributes to the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Engineering Design (CEED) and advises students in engineering competitions. His work bridges mechanical engineering with biomedical and educational applications, emphasizing practical, hands-on learning.

Education: All degrees earned at the University of Ottawa—Ph.D. (2015), M.A.Sc. (uOttawa), B.A.Sc. (uOttawa).

Research interests include vibration systems, biomedical prosthetics (e.g., hip joint prostheses), and machine learning for fault diagnosis. He has published extensively on topics like bearing fault detection, data fusion, and educational program design.

Professional Involvement: CEED co-development, advising student teams, and advancing multidisciplinary engineering education.

Labs/Teams: Core contributor to the Centre for Entrepreneurship and Engineering Design (CEED).
