Biomechanical Engineer
J. Quinn Campbell began his career in injury biomechanics as an on-site contractor with NHTSA's Biomechanics Group in Washington, DC where he researched improvements to frontal, rear, and side impact automotive safety standards. Mr. Campbell analyzed data from cadaver and dummy crash tests, studied real world crash databases like NASS, CIREN, and FARS, and ran computer injury simulations.
After leaving Washington, Mr. Campbell spent 5 years working as an off-site contractor for NHTSA developing computer models to simulate brain and thorax injuries. During this time Quinn also worked on biomechanics contracts for the US Army and US Air Force including validation of a computer model of the THOR dummy to research the safety of Humvee seat design. He also developed a proposal for a new set of vehicle tests to predict injury in military and civilian rollover accidents.
Mr. Campbell received his Bachelors Degree in Physics from the Colorado College in 1999 followed by a Master of Science degree (M.S.) in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Colorado in 2001. In addition to the required graduate curriculum he studied Biomechanics and Anatomy and Physiology. His projects in both undergraduate and graduate school involved skiing-related topics which continues to be one of his professional interests. Mr. Campbell has been involved in the International Society of Skiing Safety and continues to participate in the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) Committee on Skiing Safety.
Personal
Quinn enjoys spending time in interesting landscapes whether exploring other countries or at home in Colorado. He does that in a variety of ways from skiing, mountain biking, or backpacking to windsurfing, rowing or kite skiing. When in the city Quinn plays in a co-ed volleyball league and occasionally plays in pool tournaments.
