I am a postdoctoral research associate in the school of electrical and mechanical engineering, biomedical discipline. My primary research interest is the injury biomechanics of the central nervous system. During my PhD I investigated the biomechanics of traumatic brain injury, linking head kinematics, brain deformation, and pathology. I developed a large animal model of rapid head rotation with and without direct head impact, and methods to measure high-rate brain deformation in vivo. Using this model, we seek to better understand how head motions lead to traumatic brain injury pathologies, and to produce high resolution in vivo data to improve the validation of computation models.
