Kevin Adanty, Ph.D.

Kevin Adanty, Ph.D., is a biomechanist with a multidisciplinary background in science and engineering. He holds a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa and a Doctorate in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Alberta. His graduate research focused on head biomechanics, emphasizing sports-related injuries (cycling, equestrian, American football, hockey), skull fractures, and surrogate modeling. He has authored over 20 peer-reviewed publications, abstracts, and conference proceedings, and has presented and taught internationally on injury biomechanics.

As a biomechanical expert, Dr. Adanty has consulted and testified in civil and federal cases involving automotive collisions, slips, trips, and falls, pediatric to elderly injuries, homicides, and assaults. He also provides biomechanical expertise in complex criminal matters and has testified at both state and federal levels. Beyond his forensic work, Dr. Adanty remains active in head and spine biomechanics research and has served as a peer reviewer for journals such as Journal of Biomechanics, Clinical Biomechanics, and Annals of Biomedical Engineering.
