Senior🎓
Top SchoolMichael Burns is a PhD student and Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Virginia who applies biomechanical and data-driven methods to understand lumbar spine injury mechanisms for automotive safety. With a BS in Biomedical Engineering and an Engineering Business minor, he blends rigorous experimental biomechanics with computational analysis developed during internships at Boston Children's Hospital and Booz Allen Hamilton. His work spans lab-based loading experiments, video-based tackling mechanics for NFL applications, and SARS-CoV-2 digital-data pipelines, yielding peer-reviewed publications and cross-disciplinary presentations to public-health stakeholders. Comfortable moving between hands-on prototyping and Python-driven data pipelines, he brings an uncommon mix of forensic accident analysis, clinical epidemiology experience, and entrepreneurship to biomechanics research.
