Michio Clark, Ph.D., is a Senior Biomechanist specializing in injury biomechanics, focusing on injury mechanisms and associated injury risks. He applies this work to all segments of the human body involved in collisions and other impact-producing events. This includes injuries from motor vehicle collisions, equipment failures, workplace incidents, and more.

Dr. Clark earned a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology from Brock University and a Master of Science in Human Kinetics from the University of Ottawa. He went on to obtain his Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering (Marie-Curie Innovative Training Networks) from University College Dublin. Dr. Clark’s scientific research has focused on human impact responses, injury risk, and the protective effects of safety devices. His graduate research focused on the collection, analysis, and reconstruction of real-world head impacts and assessing the protective capabilities of helmets (e.g., equestrian jockey helmets and ice hockey goaltender masks). Following his graduate studies, Dr. Clark’s research has included assessing occupant kinematics in automotive accidents and developing methods to assess the risk of brain injury and other bodily injury.

Dr. Clark has several years of professional experience in conducting forensic biomechanics case investigations and reconstructions. This includes cases involving automobile, sport/recreation, and industrial/occupational accidents.
