Abstract

I’ve spent almost two decades studying car crashes – specifically identifying and encouraging the adoption of effective ways to improve this public health problem through research and communication. In this talk, I’ll describe our work at the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (e.g., crash test dummies, vehicle technology, motorcycles, epidemiology/statistics, etc.), how my UAB mathematics education helped, and some insights I’ve picked up along the way from these.
