Larry Fennigkoh, Ph.D., is starting a new position as Professor Emeritus, Biomedical Engineering at Milwaukee School of Engineering.
Dr. Larry Fennigkoh is a Professor Emeritus in the Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering department and has been a faculty member at MSOE since 1983. He specializes in forensic engineering, control of medical error, medical device-related injuries and deaths, and human factors in medical instrumentation design.
Previously, Fennigkoh served as the director of clinical engineering at St. Luke’s Medical Center in Milwaukee. He also developed an algorithm to help hospitals determine how much and how often medical devices need to be inspected for maintenance. The algorithm was adopted by the federal regulatory agency and is still used today by hospitals around the world. In addition, Fennigkoh continues to do forensic engineering consulting work on medical device-related patient injuries and deaths — cases which he is often able to tie back to his classroom lectures.
