Surrogate Brain Research Project

Surrogate brain project in partnership with North Central State College, NHTSA, Honda, Humanetics, and Carleton University in Ottawa, Canada.

I led a design-research project measuring rotational acceleration during head-trauma events, building and testing surrogate brain models for crash-safety research. The team spanned five institutions (NHTSA, Honda, Humanetics, North Central State College, and Carleton University), and I handled 3D design, data analysis, material testing, and coordinating the work. The goal was a better understanding of how traumatic brain injuries happen in a vehicle collision.
