Blast-related fracture patterns: a forensic biomechanical approach.

This work provided biomechanical analysis of musculoskeletal injury due to primary and tertiary blast. It proposed a new research direction in high impact biomechanics, and resulted in substantial funding (£5 million from The Royal British Legion in 2011, and others: ABF £120k, Royal Centre Defence Medicine £60k, Dstl £262k DSTLX-1000060898). Led to invited keynote lectures (Vehicle Survivability, Berlin 2011; Future Armouring, London 2012; London Trauma Conference 2012 and others), awards for MD and PhD students (Founder’s Paper Award SOMOS, Towson, MD, USA 2012 and others) and significant television, printed press and other media attention (summarised http://www3.imperial.ac.uk/blastinjurystudies/mediamentions).
