As an expert consultant in biomechanics, my deep understanding of the human body, tissue material properties, injury tolerances and prevention provides value to projects about traffic safety, medical devices, and personal protective equipment (PPE) for workers and sport safety. My customers range from small start-ups to large established corporations. I.

• I held a professorship in Computational Impact Biomechanics. My research focus was human body models for automotive crash simulations, with the aim to understand injury causation mechanisms, predict injury onset and.
• The SAFER HBM was improved regarding tissue level injury predictions and the world’s first full-body finite element model with active muscles.
• The Open-Source ViVA HBM represented an average sized female, the first of its kind in the world of average sized male crash test dummies and HBMs, and later evolved to open access HBM for virtual testing (see link.
• A child multibody model with active muscles properties to simulate kinematics in pre-crash events.During my time at Chalmers, I supervised seven Ph.D. students and four post-docs, in addition to numerous bachelor and.

I worked with support, consultancy and sales of the finite element software LS-DYNA and was responsible for arranging the Nordic LS-DYNA User’s Conference. My projects were mainly within the fields of biomechanics, automotive engineering and crash safety, and road side safety (performing virtual certification of road barriers).

I performed research on neck injuries with virtual simulations, dynamic finite element analysis using LS-DYNA, and continued to improve the neck models that I developed as part of my Ph.D.-project. An exemplar project that I worked on was studying neck injury risks connected to the use of night vision googles among helicopter pilots. Pedagogic activities.

Stockholm, Stockholm County, Sweden

My research topic was neck injuries, mainly focusing on epidemiology and injury prevention in traumatic impacts.
