Mr. Probst earned a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering at University of Louisiana, Lafayette, Louisiana, and an M.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana. For his Ph.D. research at Tulane, Mr. Probst developed the most advanced kinematic model of the human cervical spine known to date. This unique model will be used to make technological advances to Naval pilot ejection and recovery systems. In addition, Mr. Probst has also done advanced course work in the fields of biomaterials, materials engineering, biosolid mechanics, mechanisms of bodily functions, and advanced finite element analysis. He has also lectured extensively and shared teaching responsibilities for courses in biomedical engineering and design and analysis at Tulane University. As a biomedical consultant for a national accident investigation firm and while a student, Brad gained valuable experience in forensic analysis while working on a university project to research soft tissue injury caused by dynamic inertial loading. While investigating and presenting work on bone morphology, his focus was the proper use of computation modeling as it related to bone material property identification. His significant contributions led to important developments in the field of bone mechanics and response of living bone to stress and disease
