Research summary
AI-generated

John H. Bolte's research focuses on understanding how the human body, especially the chest, ribs, spine, and lower extremities, responds to and gets injured in vehicle crashes, blasts, and other high-impact events. Much of this work uses postmortem human subjects (PMHS) and computer simulation models to study injury patterns across different ages, sexes, and body sizes, aiming to improve vehicle safety design and crash test dummies. This research area is likely of interest to students interested in biomechanics, injury prevention, and automotive safety engineering.
