معرفی
Mazen Al-Hajjar is a Visiting Research Fellow at the School of Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences. He is affiliated with the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (iMBE), contributing to advanced research in orthopaedic device development and biomaterials testing.
His academic qualifications include:
- Bachelor of Engineering (BEng)
- Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
Dr. Al-Hajjar specializes in hip joint replacement systems, experimental simulation techniques, and biotribology. His research investigates prosthetic implant performance and longevity, focusing on wear mechanisms of articulating surfaces (metal, ceramic, polyethylene) and biological responses to wear debris. He employs biomechanical/biological simulations and computational modeling to develop next-generation orthopaedic devices for younger, active patients requiring long-term functionality, addressing critical challenges in reducing wear and improving implant durability.
Information regarding student supervision and research funding sources was not provided in the current profile.
The Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering (iMBE) provides Dr. Al-Hajjar's research environment, featuring advanced preclinical testing methodologies for orthopaedic devices that bridge laboratory research with commercial product development through strategic industrial partnerships.
