Introduction

Anton Bowden has taught at BYU since 2007. He has expertise in nonlinear finite element analysis, medical image registration, solid mechanics, and computational biomechanics. He has developed highly detailed, anatomically fidelic, computational models of the normal and pathological human spine. He has experience with orthopedic and diagnostic medical devices from product liability, regulatory compliance, and product development perspectives. His research interests include combining medical imaging with computational mechanics to examine in situ stress states of biological tissue and orthopedic implants, as well as in vivo characterization of material properties. He has also developed novel methodologies for measuring wear in retrieved polyethylene implants using µCT imaging.

Professor Bowden received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Utah State University in 1996, and his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from University of Utah in 2003. After completion of his Ph.D. work, he worked for four years as a consultant for the international engineering consulting firm, Exponent, Inc. in the Biomechanics Practice. He teaches courses in the areas of biomechanics, materials science, and finite element analysis.
