Biography
Obinna K. Ihesiulor is presently a PhD student at the University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia. He obtained his Master’s degree in 2012 at the same university. His current research interest is in the area of prosthetic devices for joint replacements. His PhD research work is on the investigation of wear of total hip replacement at the taper-trunnion junction. In order to quantify the amount of material loss to ultimate locations in the surrounding joint space, the taper-trunnion project for wear investigation is conceptualized and motivated. In a broader sense, the principal goal is to work toward the minimization of wear debris produced in the hip joint, thereby resulting in a longer prosthetic lifetime.
