INTRODUCTION
I am an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering with a specialty in impact biomechanics. Prior to joining CSULA, I worked for General Motors in safety and crashworthiness where I spent four years crash testing vehicles and evaluating airbag systems. The past nine years I have been working in the field of forensics; reconstructing real-world accidents to determine the mechanics associated with bodily injuries. I am very excited to be part of the CSULA family and look forward to providing students exciting learning opportunities in biomechanical engineering.
TEACHING INTERESTS
My primary teaching interests are in the biomedical engineering field; specifically in biomechanics, injury mechanics and safety system design. My secondary teaching interests are in fundamental mechanics and the development of specialty courses.
RESEARCH
My basic research interests are in the field of injury biomechanics. Injury biomechanics encompasses four key basic research areas: biomechanical response, injury mechanisms, injury tolerance and human surrogate development. My research interests span all four areas of injury biomechanics. My applied research interests are in injury prevention, safety systems as well as forensics.
