| Education Ph.D. Bioengineering, Syracuse University, May 2008 Concentrations: Bioelectrochemistry, Biomaterials Dissertation: The In-Vitro Biological and Electrochemical Interactions of Electrically Polarized Commercially Pure Titanium Used for Orthopedic and Dental Applications M.S. Bioengineering, Syracuse University, May 2002 Concentration: Biomechanics Project: Motion Analysis of Unicompartment Knee Replacements B.S. Bioengineering, Syracuse University, May 2000 Concentration: Bioinstrumentation Honors Thesis: The Suppression of Distortion Product Oto-Acoustic Emissions in Rats Research Interests Dr. Ehrensberger is developing a new Orthopaedic Bioengineering research track within the Orthopaedic Research Laboratory at UB that will focus on understanding the biological and electrochemical interactions present at the surface of metallic biomaterials used in orthopaedic surgery. This research is an extension of Dr. Ehrensberger’s training in bioinstrumentation, biomaterials, and bioelectrochemistry. In addition, Dr. Ehrensberger has a strong interest in applying engineering principles to understand the biomechanical mechanisms that dictate the performance of hard and soft tissue repairs commonly utilized in orthopaedics.
