| Jeff R. Crandall | | Associate Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering | | Director, Center for Applied Biomechanics | | Ph.D., University of Virginia | | | | Dr. Crandall has served on the U.Va. faculty since 1994. He is a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers, the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine, and the American Society of Biomechanics. | | | | Research Interests | | Jeff Crandall's current research focuses on understanding the response and injury mechanisms of the human body during dynamic loading. Biomechanical applications include impact biomechanics, transportation safety, orthopedic studies and sports-related injuries. The primary body regions of interest are the extremities, thorax and head with an emphasis on protecting pedestrians and children. | | |
