Members are elected on their individual merits and not as representatives of specific countries, corporations, academic institutions or government agencies. Their expertise is in conducting and encouraging research on biomechanics and injury mechanisms, in leading debate on research findings and in encouraging publication of these findings in the IRCOBI proceedings as well as in other peer-reviewed scientific journals.<\/p>\n<p>The IRCOBI Council members are recognised specialists in their field and have considerable experience in impact biomechanics, crash investigation, injury assessment and outcomes, blast and sports injuries, constitutive modelling and passive safety research. Using the research work submitted and presented at the annual conferences as well as through other peer-reviewed technical literature, they are in a unique position to identify the state of current knowledge. They also have a commanding position to identify areas where further basic and applied research can produce substantial improvements in road user safety.<\/p>\n<p>During 2013 the IRCOBI Council established a Scientific Review Committee to increase the pool of researchers to participate in the technical manuscript review process. As with the Council, Committee members come from many countries around the world and are invited to serve on their individual merits.<\/p>\n<h3>Council Members<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Amanda AGNEW, USA, vice-president<\/li>\n<li>Devon ALBERT, USA<\/li>\n<li>Scott GAYZIK, USA<\/li>\n<li>Bronislaw GEPNER, USA<\/li>\n<li>Mazdak GHAJARI, United Kindom<\/li>\n<li>Valentina GRACI, USA<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.umtri.umich.edu\/people\/jingwen-hu\/\"> Jingwen HU, USA<\/a><\/li>\n<li>David HYND, United Kingdom<\/li>\n<li>Yun Seok KANG, USA<\/li>\n<li>Andrew KEMPER, USA<\/li>\n<li>Corina KLUG, Austria<\/li>\n<li>Nils LUBBE, Sweden, treasurer<\/li>\n<li><a><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/www.imperial.ac.uk\/people\/s.masouros04\"> Spyros MASOUROS, United Kingdom, president<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Bingbing NIE, China<\/li>\n<li>Matthew PANZER, USA, secretary<\/li>\n<li>Steffen PELDSCHUS, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Rodney RUDD, USA<\/li>\n<li>Fusako SATO, Japan<\/li>\n<li>Gunter SIEGMUND, USA<\/li>\n<li>Helena STIGSON, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Gregory TIERNEY, United Kingdom<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Secretariat<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Kai-Uwe SCHMITT, Switzerland<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Members of the Scientific Review Committee (SRC)<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Loay AL-SALEHI, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Ahmed ALSHAREEF, USA<\/li>\n<li>Victor ALVAREZ, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Nicolas BAILLY, France<\/li>\n<li>Claire BAKER, UK<\/li>\n<li>Gretchen BAKER, USA<\/li>\n<li>Adam BARTSCH, USA<\/li>\n<li>Dale BASS, USA<\/li>\n<li>Aditya BELWADI, USA<\/li>\n<li>Lynne BILSTON, Australia<\/li>\n<li>Katarina BOHMAN, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>John BOLTE, USA<\/li>\n<li>Stephanie BONIN, USA<\/li>\n<li>Karin BROLIN, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Matt BRUMBELOW, USA<\/li>\n<li>Eamon CAMPOLETTANO, USA<\/li>\n<li>Julaluk CARAMAI, Thailand<\/li>\n<li>Jolyon CARROLL, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Duane CRONIN, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Kerry DANELSON, USA<\/li>\n<li>Julia DE LANGE, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Ricardo DE SOUSA, Portugal<\/li>\n<li>Christopher DENNISON, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Karan DEVANE, USA<\/li>\n<li>Bruce DONNELLY, USA<\/li>\n<li>Dustin DRAPER, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Andre EGGERS, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Benjamin, ELKIN, Canada<\/li>\n<li>Madelen FAHLSTEDT, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>J\u00f6rg FEHR, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Tanner FILBEN, USA<\/li>\n<li>John FINAN, USA<\/li>\n<li>Lee GABLER, USA<\/li>\n<li>Maria GONZALEZ GARCIA, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Jason HALLMAN, USA<\/li>\n<li>Masahito HITOSUGI, Japan<\/li>\n<li>Randee HUNTER, USA<\/li>\n<li>Johan IRAEUS, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Daisuke ITO, Japan<\/li>\n<li>Tomohiro IZUMIYAMA, Japan<\/li>\n<li>Lotta JAKOBSSON, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Dhaval JANI, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Songbai JI, USA<\/li>\n<li>Heiko JOHANNSEN, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Jobin JOHN, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Claire JONES, Australia<\/li>\n<li>Derek JONES, USA<\/li>\n<li>Mirko JUNGE, Germany<\/li>\n<li>Jason KERRIGAN, USA<\/li>\n<li>Christoph KLEIN, Austria<\/li>\n<li>Svein KLEIVEN, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Kathleen KLINICH, USA<\/li>\n<li>Anders KULLGREN, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>S\u00e9bastien LAPORTE, France<\/li>\n<li>Karl-Johan LARSSON, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Matthieu LEBARBE, France<\/li>\n<li>Enora LE FLAO, USA<\/li>\n<li>Xiaogai LI, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Astrid LINDER, Sweden<\/li>\n<li>Francisco J.
