  2. Research Interests • Biomechanics of traumatic injuries in traffic, contact sports, and blast environment • Develop sophisticated computer models of human and animal head/neck/body using finite element techniques to quantify local biomechanical responses • Impact induced Neuortrauma • Head impact experiments in vivo animals: impact force, brain response, axonal pathology, biomarkers • Numerical reconstructions of real-world crashes/accidents involve occupants, pedestrians, race-car drivers, NFL players to predict responses and correlate to clinical injury outcomes • Develop tissue level tolerance for Diffuse axonal injury, concussion, cerebral blood vessel injury • Soft tissue neck injury in rear-end impact and head-restraint system design evaluation • Blast overpressure induced Neurotrauma • Interaction of the blast wave with the human head and wave propagation in the brain • Define dose-response relationships for assessing blast-induced brain injury • Protectiveness of the military helmet in blunt and blast induced trauma • Evaluate the energy attenuation performance of protective gear, padding materials, vehicle floor mat (UBB), and other materials
