John Cavanaugh, MS, MD, PEProfessor & Associate ChairBiomedical Engineering Past Research in Injury Biomechanics 1980s – Frontal impact biomechanics (FMVSS 208) 1990s – Side impact biomechanics (FMVSS 214) 2000s – Whiplash, TBI, Side Impact Funding agencies: NHTSA, NIH, CDC, MVMA, GM, Ford Motor Co.
Current Research Interests • Traumatic Brain Injury (NIH, OVPR) • Whiplash (EMG response, pain mechanisms) • Child Side Impact (Ford URP) • Currently no federal standard for children • Goal is to develop a biofidelic car crash dummy for 6 year olds
