This expert has over 20 years of experience as a forensic engineer and accident reconstructionist, with specialized training and expertise in vehicle dynamics, occupant kinematics, and injury biomechanics. The expert’s technical background encompasses vehicle and occupant kinematics, injury mechanisms, biodynamic simulation, and the reconstruction of pedestrian, bicycle, motorcycle, rollover, low-speed, and heavy vehicle collisions. Accident reconstruction expertise includes crash data retrieval and event data recorder analysis, damage-energy methods, tire and roadway evidence, braking systems, human perception and reaction, vehicle simulation, three-dimensional laser scanning, video analysis, and autonomous and advanced driving systems. This expert also has specialized training in tribometry and coefficient-of-friction analysis, crash testing, occupant simulation, head injury mechanisms, and biomechanical injury causation.

This expert holds bachelor's and master's degrees in mechanical engineering, with graduate-level emphasis in dynamics and control systems. Credentials include Professional Engineer licensure and certification as an accident reconstructionist through the Accreditation Commission for Traffic Accident Reconstruction (ACTAR), along with certifications in crash data retrieval and analysis, XL tribometry, and three-dimensional laser scanning and data interpretation. Additional academic and specialized training includes advanced human anatomy and physiology and musculoskeletal injury biomechanics. In addition to forensic engineering practice, this expert has authored and coauthored technical and peer-reviewed publications addressing forensic injury biomechanics, biodynamic simulation, collision severity reconstruction, vehicle dynamics, three-dimensional scanning, and crash reconstruction.
