***Reminder: The deadline for the discounted registration fee is this
Friday, May 2nd***
We would like to invite you to attend the 2008 Injury Biomechanics Symposium
which will be held May 18th through May 20th, 2008 at The Ohio State
University in Columbus, Ohio. The purpose of the symposium is to stimulate
and reward strong injury biomechanics research among students and recent
graduates. Attendees can expect original biomechanics research in a forum
intended to foster communication between developing and established
researchers.
We are pleased to announce that 10 Universities from around the world will
be participating in the symposium. The symposium will feature 9 oral
presentations and 12 posters. A small sample of the experimental and
theoretical topics to be discussed include -
• Pediatric ATD Biofidelity
• Experimental Pressurization Techniques for both Eye and Spinal
Cord Research
• Anterior Tibia Impact Testing
• Helmet & Neck Collar Testing
• Humerus and Forearm Bending Risk Functions
• Geometric Scaling Factors for the Pediatric Brainstem
• Pregnant Female Anthropometry from CT Scans
Other Symposium events will include:
§ Welcome reception including food and drinks at the Varsity Club
§ Keynote Address by Stephen W. Rouhana, PhD., Ford Motor Company
§ Panel Discussion-Aerospace Biomechanics
- Nancy J. Currie, PhD., NASA, Houston, Texas
- James W. Brinkley, Retired Air Force Research Laboratory,
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio
- Carol Chancey, PhD., Research Biomedical Engineer, U.S.
Army Aeromedical Research Lab
§ Banquet at the Buckeye Hall of Fame Cafe & Arcade
§ Dr. Margaret H. Hines Award (plaque & monetary award) given to the
best oral presenter and best poster presentation
