Team project. Biomechanics research paper, 2022: The Protective Performance of Modern Motorcycle Helmets Under Oblique Impacts. Ann Biomed Eng (2022).
I worked as an undergraduate student researcher at the Human Experience, Analysis and Design (HEAD) lab at Imperial College London. We study injury biomechanics, with a focus on TBI (Traumatic brain injury) and its prevention using wearable protection such as motorcycle helmets. We have developed a test rig capable of testing oblique impacts and then conduct simulations with our detailed high-fidelity human head Finite Element model to study how brain deforms under the linear and rotational accelerations.
With the findings of our research, the data gathered from the tests and our FEA studies, we wrote a paper titled 'The Protective Performance of Modern Motorcycle Helmets Under Oblique Impacts', published in the Ann Biomed Eng (2022). The paper is linked below. Apart from researching and testing the helmets, I was responsible for producing a promotional video for the HEAD lab to show to clients and investors. I edited it using Premiere Pro and have included it in the project gallery below.
