Jason Halloran MS, PhD

Dr. Halloran’s research interests include computational biomechanics with applications in orthopedics-related device analysis and multiscale tissue mechanics. Specifically, Dr. Halloran’s work has focused on the knee, where he uses computational modeling to predict natural, diseased, and implanted mechanics. Implications of this work include assessing modeling capabilities in light of known uncertainties, preclinical testing of devices, and developing the potential for patient-specific analysis.

After earning his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Denver Dr. Halloran became a postdoctoral fellow in Biomedical Engineering at the Cleveland Clinic. He subsequently transitioned into a Research Staff position where he also became the Deputy Director of the Computational Biomodeling Core, a fee-for-service consulting group within the Cleveland Clinic. In this capacity, Dr. Halloran performed both federally funded biomechanics work and consulted for numerous orthopedic device companies.

In 2014 Dr. Halloran transitioned into an Assistant Professor position in Mechanical Engineering at Cleveland State University. There he built an active research group that focused on knee-related computational studies while also developing an interest in issues related to small-scale tissue mechanics. In August of 2019, Dr. Halloran joined the Applied Sciences Laboratory, Institute for Shock Physics at Washington State University.
