Title/Current Position: 2nd-year M.Sc. Student in Biomedical Engineering, co-supervised by Dr. Sarah Manske
Research: Justen’s work aims to determine the utility of weight-bearing computed tomography in the study of carpal biomechanics, particularly in the context of scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) tears. He is aiming to better understand how load-bearing impacts carpal bone position, as pain under load is a common symptom of SLIL injuries. This work involves measuring 3D carpal alignment, kinematics, and contact patterns between the carpal bones.
Hobbies: Soccer, basketball, and ultimate frisbee
