Steven A. Rundell, Ph.D., P.E.
Senior Consultant, Biomechanics
Dr. Rundell is a consulting biomechanist and mechanical engineer based in Armstrong's Detroit office. His major practice area involves the forensic investigation of accidents resulting in traumatic injury. He holds a B.S. and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Michigan State University and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Drexel University.
Dr. Rundell is a licensed Professional Engineer and has published numerous peer-reviewed journal articles and abstracts. He has presented scientific findings at both medical and engineering conferences. Most recently, Dr. Rundell has performed research related to the failure of spinal implants, mechanical causation of spinal disc herniations, and lower extremity forces generated during rear-end automobile collisions.
