STEVEN C. BATTERMAN, Ph.D.
Dr. Steven Batterman received his B.C.E. from the Cooper
Union School of Engineering, New York in 1959 and continued
his education at Brown University in Providence, RI where he
received his Sc.M.(Engineering) in June 1961 and his
Ph.D. (Engineering) in June 1964. From 1964
to 1997, Dr. Batterman was a continuous, full-time faculty member
at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA where he
served as a professor in the School of Engineering and Applied
Science (Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics,
Department of Bioengineering) and in the School of Medicine
(1972-1997, Department of Orthopaedic Surgery). In 1997, after
33 years of service, Dr. Batterman retired as a Professor Emeritus
of Bioengineering (Biomechanics) and a Professor Emeritus of
Bioengineering in Orthopaedic Surgery. Dr. Batterman was the
first engineer in the world to be elected President of the American
Academy of Forensic Sciences. His areas of expertise in forensic
engineering include, but are not limited to, accident reconstruction,
occupant kinematics, vehicle dynamics, biomechanics, mechanics
of human injury, crash worthiness, restraint systems, products
liability, safety engineering and human factors. Additional
expertise is in mechanics of solids and structures including
stress analysis, buckling and stability, failure analysis, structural
dynamics, impact, mechanical and structural design. Dr. Batterman
holds numerous academic honors and awards, has published extensively
and enjoys both national and international recognition as an
engineering consultant and one of the leading forensic engineers
of our time. A curriculum vitae is available upon request.
