Jonas Östh - new docent in the SAFER community!
We are pleased to announce that we have a new docent in the SAFER community, Jonas Östh from Volvo Cars. Jonas is very experienced in the area of human body modelling and presented his installation lecture "Bottom Up and Top Down: Developing and Applying Human Body Models for Safer Cars" today. The lecture gave an overview of how a human body model is developed from the start and also exemplified how it can be applied the development of safer cars. Congratulations Jonas!
Jonas Östh is working with frontal crash occupant safety analysis at the Volvo Cars Safety Centre. He has a Ph.D. from the School of Machine and Vehicle Systems since 2014 and a background as a researcher and teacher at the Division of Vehicle Safety. His research focuses on finite element Human Body Models (HBMs), which are developed and used with the aim of analysing the occupant response in car crashes. The research is carried out in connection to the SAFER Traffic and Vehicle Safety Centre at Chalmers.
