About

Tohid Jahangirpoor is a mechanical engineer whose research focuses on the critical intersection of thermal mechanics and biomedical applications, particularly in orthopaedic surgery. His work addresses a pressing clinical challenge: the risk of thermal necrosis during high-speed bone drilling, where temperatures exceeding 47°C can damage living tissue. Through a combination of experimental testing and finite element modelling, Jahangirpoor has systematically investigated how drilling parameters influence both force and temperature generation. His most-cited paper, "Experimental and finite element investigation of high-speed bone drilling: evaluation of force and temperature" (2020, 25 citations), provides foundational insights into this process. Complementing this, his 2019 study on modelling and optimisation of temperature and force behaviour (19 citations) offers practical strategies for reducing thermal damage while maintaining drilling efficiency. By developing predictive models that account for bone's low thermal conductivity, Jahangirpoor's work helps surgeons and implant designers select optimal drilling conditions to minimise necrosis risk and prevent drill fracture. His research bridges mechanical engineering principles with surgical safety, making a tangible contribution to improving outcomes in fracture treatment and dental implantology.
