Simulation in Action: From Classical to Emerging Applications in Orthopaedics
When: Thursday, February 26, 2026, 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Where: Teams
Speaker: Philippe Favre, Associate Director at Zimmer Biomet
Abstract: Have you ever wondered how large orthopaedic companies verify their prostheses are safe and reliable before they are first implanted in patients?
In this presentation, we will explain how virtual simulations are deployed in the development phase of novel hip, knee or shoulder prostheses. We will also share an overview of some exciting research projects that include AI and aim to support better patient outcomes in the future.
Bio: Philippe Favre is an Associate Director at Zimmer Biomet, based in Switzerland, leading the computational biomechanics group. This group performs all simulations in support of implant development, and leads several research projects. He obtained his Master in mechanical engineering from the EPF Lausanne and his PhD from the ETH Zurich.
