Dr. Hu is an Associate Research Scientist at the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute and the Department of Mechanical Engineering at University of Michigan. His research interests focus on injury biomechanics in motor-vehicle crashes by a multidisciplinary approach using combination of experimental,numerical, and epidemiological procedures. His recent research primarily focused on the development of parametric computational human models representing a diverse population. Such models have been used to study the injury mechanism and safety designs for various

vulnerable populations, including children, elderly, pedestrian,pregnant female, and obese occupants.  He is an author of 49 peer-reviewed journal articles and 40 conference papers.  As the lead author, he has received three "Best Paper Awards".  Dr. Hu's research has been funded by National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,National Science Foundation, National Institute of Justice, US Army Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, and the Auto Industry.

 

胡敬文博士是密歇根大学交通研究院和机械系副研究员。他的研究兴趣集中在通过实验、模拟计算、和流行病学的多学科方法研究损伤生物力学在汽车事故中的应用。他近期的研究课题主要集中在代表多样化人群的参数化人体模型的开发。这些模型已被用于研究各种易受伤害群体（包括儿童、老年人、行人、怀孕的女性、和肥胖者）在碰撞中的损伤机理和安全设计。他已发表49篇期刊论文和40篇会议论文。作为第一作者，他曾三次获得学术会议或组织的“最佳论文奖”。胡博士的研究曾被美国国家高速公路交通安全管理局、国家科学基金会、国家司法研究院、美国陆军坦克汽车研究发展与工程中心、以及多个汽车公司资助。
