Research Associate
University of Wisconsin - Madison
Luis H. Olivas-Alanis received the Ph.D. degree in Engineering Science in 2023 (Tecnologico de Monterrey, MX). He is a Biomedical Engineer (2017) and earned the Master of Science degree in Manufacturing Systems (2019), both from Tecnologico de Monterrey. Currently, he is a Postdoctoral Scholar at the University of Wisconsin - Madison (UWM). Previous postdoctoral appointments include The Ohio State University (2023 - 202) and Tecnologico de Monterrey (2024 - 2025). His research is focused on Virtual Surgical Planning (VSP), which considers the design, validation, manufacturing, and verification of load-bearing personalized medical devices. Moreover, the application of novel metals and cellular materials for the development of stiffness-matched implants. He has strong experience on CT image segmentation, computer-aided design of custom implants, and computational static structural analysis (FEA). He works with Powder-Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing of novel metallic alloys, such as Nickel-Titanium alloys, post-processing stages (chemical polishing, coating) for medical device production, and morphological, thermal, and mechanical characterization. His work contributes to the NSF HAMMER ERC in collaboration with The Ohio State University.
