Dr. Andrew Basilio received a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and a Master of Science (M.S.) in Bioengineering from the University of California, San Diego (UCSD), and a Master of Philosophy (M.Phil.) and a Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in Biomedical Engineering from Columbia University.  His primary areas of consulting expertise include injury biomechanics and occupant motion in motor vehicle accidents.

Dr. Basilio’s doctoral research was in brain injury biomechanics focusing on modeling cerebral edema (brain swelling) following traumatic brain injury (TBI) to better predict injury outcomes and facilitate biomechanical vehicle safety measures.  He used various mathematical and experimental techniques to determine the mechanical properties of different regions of the human brain and has also designed experiments to help elucidate the mechanism of brain swelling after TBI.  Through his research, Dr. Basilio has experience in collecting, processing, and analyzing experimental data, as well as simulating and analyzing a variety of computational models.
