Perform accident reconstructions of single-vehicle rollovers, single-vehicle impacts with fixed objects, and multi-vehicle collisions (frontal, side, rear, and sideswipe).
Utilize engineering principles to calculate factors such as impact and departure speeds, collision forces, and trajectories of vehicles.
Compare calculations with crash test reports of similar collisions to correlate damages based on calculated velocities.
Review papers and journals related to vehicular accident reconstruction to understand and advance the scientific techniques used in reconstruction work.
Provide written conclusions of findings to assist others in understanding the evidence or in determining the facts at issue.
Take an active role in marketing YA Engineering Services to clients and to the forensic engineering community.
