Forensic Expert – Biomechanics and Accident Reconstruction, Aperture LLC Carlsbad, (Sept 2023 to present)

Specialization in Accident Reconstruction and Forensic Biomechanics, integrating vehicular dynamics analyses with occupant kinematics and kinetics to quantify impact severity and evaluate potential injury mechanisms. Through the application of:

• Accident Reconstruction and Biomechanics during/for on-site investigations

• Analysis of kinematics and kinetics of the human body to delineate causal relationships between insult and injury

• Conduct field inspections of the accident locations and vehicles, using UAS (Unmanned Aircraft Systems) terrestrial scanners, and digital photographs to generate 3D data for further analysis

• Physics-based simulation software that reconstructs real world accidents; Human Vehicle Environment (HVE) and PC-Crash

• Advanced Photogrammetric analysis for collision reconstruction to identify on-scene evidence, vehicle crush, and speed of vehicles

• Camera matching and lens correction of surveillance videos, dashcam footage and photographs to obtain accurate 3D measurements

• Certified CDR technician to obtain Event Data Recorders data

• Certified EDR data analyst for the use in Traffic Crash Reconstruction

Human Performance Alliance, Cardiac Mechanics Research Group, July 2021 – August 2023, Graduate Researcher

• Worked in the cardiac mechanics research group under the Wu Tsai Human performance project.
• Analyzed musculoskeletal biomechanics and generated computational models to answer questions which can’t be studied in-vivo.
• Skills ranged from collecting experimental data, muscle architecture, mechanical design of performance rigs, computational 3D modeling in OpenSim, MATLAB coding, and tissue/anatomy segmentation using Mimics.

University of California, San Diego, September 2021 – June 2022, Instructional Assistant

• Instructed undergraduate courses in Musculoskeletal Biomechanics, Soft tissue biomechanics and Fluid and Cell Biomechanics.
• Instruction required mastery of statics and dynamics of musculoskeletal systems, mathematical characterization of biological soft tissues, kinematics and viscous properties of biological fluids, and overall biomechanical analysis.
