My research is focused on understanding human body responses to mechanical loading. For example, I develop computational finite element child models to understand how an impact (such as a car accident) or a force (such as compression during cardiopulmonary resuscitation) affects skeletal responses for proposing better safety methods. I also use experimental and computational methods to understand hard bone materials and soft ligament/muscle/brain materials to develop more accurate computational models.
