Charles F. Babbs develops mathematical and biomechanical models to understand medical and physical phenomena, including cardiac arrest and CPR, brain injury from head impacts (such as soccer heading), blood pressure measurement accuracy, artery mechanics, and sound-based diagnosis of conditions like pneumonia and sleep apnea. His work applies quantitative modeling and physics-based reasoning to a wide range of biomedical and even recreational physics problems, such as stone skipping and computer-generated fractal art.
