Dr. Duane Cronin has recently been awarded $1.4 million in funding for his Tier 1 NSERC Canada Research Chair in Trauma Biomechanics and Injury Prevention. The research focuses on computational human body models that can predict injury and provide critical data on the biomechanics of injuries that happen during crashes.
The program on biomechanics and injury prevention is developing frangible and biofidelic human body models to decipher epidemiological and experimental data, generate new approaches to avoiding injury, and investigate how people respond to impact in crash scenarios. This is all part of a worldwide effort to address important safety issues.
