Liying Zhang, Ph.D. Title: Associate Research ProfessorDepartment: Biomedical Engineering Education: PhD from Wayne State Univ, ME/Biomechanics, 2001 BS, MS from Shanghai JiaoTongUniversity, 1993 Previous Experience: Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp., China, 1993-1996 • Department of Defense Brain Injury Computational Modeling Expert Panel (2010-2014) • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), Committee: Sports Equipment and Facilities, task group: develop rotational test standard for headgear • Patent: Omni-Directional Angular Acceleration Reduction for Protective Headgear, Apr. 26, 2012 • Licensing: WSU Human Head Model • PI on NIH R01 (2008-2013), DoD (2008-2010, 2011), NSF China (2010-2012) Highlights Current Funding/Project • Department of Defense, MRMC • The National Operational Committee on Standards on Athletic Equipment (NOCSAE) • Global Human Body Modeling Consortium, LLC. • Chongqing ChanganAutomobile • Pending: NIH R01

  2. Research Interests • Biomechanics of traumatic injuries in traffic, contact sports, and blast environment • Develop sophisticated computer models of human and animal head/neck/body using finite element techniques to quantify local biomechanical responses • Impact induced Neuortrauma • Head impact experiments in vivo animals: impact force, brain response, axonal pathology, biomarkers • Numerical reconstructions of real-world crashes/accidents involve occupants, pedestrians, race-car drivers, NFL players to predict responses and correlate to clinical injury outcomes • Develop tissue level tolerance for Diffuse axonal injury, concussion, cerebral blood vessel injury • Soft tissue neck injury in rear-end impact and head-restraint system design evaluation • Blast overpressure induced Neurotrauma • Interaction of the blast wave with the human head and wave propagation in the brain • Define dose-response relationships for assessing blast-induced brain injury • Protectiveness of the military helmet in blunt and blast induced trauma • Evaluate the energy attenuation performance of protective gear, padding materials, vehicle floor mat (UBB), and other materials
