Jason R. Kerrigan
Commonwealth Professor Professor, Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Professor, Orthopaedic Surgery (Courtesy) Director, Center for Applied BiomechanicsProf. Kerrigan's research in injury biomechanics uses data analysis, computational modeling, and mechanical experiments with human tissue to prevent and mitigate injuries to motor vehicle occupants and athletes. Right now he is working on occupant protection for future vehicles, shoe-turf interaction mechanics, and characterizing injury tolerance.
