Dr. Harrysson is the Director of the Center for Additive Manufacturing and Logistics (CAMAL) housed by the ISE department, which houses the first Electron Beam Melting (EBM) machine in the world. CAMAL is currently involved in research with numerous industries as well as providing faculty and students with prototyping services. Most of the aerospace-related research involves process and material development for the EBM systems while the medical research is concentrated on custom design and direct metal fabrication of novel implants and development new treatment methods.
Dr. Harrysson has been working for over 18 years with his colleague, Dr. Denis Marcellin-Little, who was an orthopedic surgeon at the College of Veterinary Medicine until 2018. They are developing new and innovative implant and surgical solutions. The two have pioneered the area of Transdermal Osseointegrated Prosthetics, which is a type of a prosthetic limb that is directly attached to the bone in the stump instead of using an external socket.
Research Interests
Ola Harrysson’s research interests include medical and aerospace applications of additive manufacturing, custom design and fabrication of biomedical implants, medical devices, rehabilitation engineering, and regenerative medicine.
