Jobin John

I am part of Research Faculty at the Division of Vehicle Safety and also hold an assignment at the Department of Mechanics and Maritime Sciences as Director for Undergraduate Studies.

In research, my work focuses on developing computational biomechanics models of the human body, primarily for injury analysis. I am part of the developer team of the open-source VIVA+ human body model lineup. My interests also include the use of machine learning for developing fast prediction surrogates for expensive simulations, morphometrics, and uncertainty quantification of computational models

In my role as the Director of Undergraduate Studies, I work along with Assistant Head of Department for undergraduate studies to ensure smooth delivery of courses by the department. This includes, among other things, coordinating the teaching activities of the faculty and PhD students, bachelor's thesis work, and annual staffing plans.

I am also responsible for the course Open Science for Engineers and Researchers (TRA225), where I led a multidisciplinary teaching team in developing a new project-based Tracks course on Open Science.
