Goeran Fiedler is an assistant professor of prosthetics and orthotics at University of Pittsburgh School of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences.

He holds graduate degrees in Clinical Engineering (Diplom Ingenieur (FH) from the University of Applied Sciences Giessen-Friedberg, 2008) and in Health Sciences (Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2012). He is also a trained clinical prosthetist and orthotist with a Master Craftsman degree from the Chamber of Crafts Upper Bavaria/Lower Palatinate, 1998. From 2008 to 2012 he worked as a research assistant at the the Mobility for Veterans Center and the Rehabilitation Research and Disability Design (R2D2) Center at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and from 2012 to 2013 as a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Rehabilitation Medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle. In 2014, he joined the faculty of the University of Pittsburgh/ His research and development work is focused on the areas of lower limb prosthetics socket comfort, alignment, and outcomes assessment.
