Congratulations to OML Alum Brooke, who was awarded a Graduate Research Fellowship from the National Science Foundation. Her project, titled “Soft Tissue Variability as a Predictor of Thoracic Injury in Motor Vehicle Collisions,” extends the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) study and incorporates machine learning to better understand how soft tissue characteristics influence injury risk in vehicle collisions. This innovative work has the potential to advance injury biomechanics and improve motor vehicle safety.
