I currently hold a tenured faculty position at the University of Western Ontario, where I have research and teaching appointments in Mechanical Engineering, Kinesiology, and Surgery. Since 2002, I have conducted peer-reviewed research into the biomechanics of injury. Western Mechanical Engineering is a leader in the field of Biomechanical Engineering, renowned for its cutting-edge research and innovative educational programs. The department provides a robust curriculum that combines rigorous engineering principles with practical applications in biomechanics, preparing students to excel in this specialized field. What are your areas of expertise and professional experience relating to providing expert opinion and analysis? TLS Forensic has expertise and extensive experience providing expert opinion and analysis in Injury Biomechanics, specifically focusing on the application of physics and engineering principles to understand the motion and loading of biological tissues, body segments, and bodies overall. In the context of forensic biomechanics, we specialize in analyzing vehicle collisions and aviation accidents to determine how the movement of the vehicles impacts the occupants, leading to injury. At TLS Forensic, we conduct detailed analyses of vehicle collisions using simulation methods. These simulations provide critical data on the accelerations and trajectories of the vehicles involved, which serve as inputs for the biomechanical analysis. By examining how occupants move within the vehicle, the accelerations their body parts experience and the biomechanical loads imposed on their bodies, we determine if and when injury occurs. 52 LAWYER MONTHLY JUNE 2024
