Dr Ryan Quarrington is committed to contributing towards the worldwide effort to reduce the incidence and impact of preventable injuries. His multidisciplinary research, which he conducts at The University of Adelaide’s Centre for Orthopaedic and Trauma Research (COTR), uses experimental and computer models to investigate the biomechanics of preventable injuries (predominantly spinal) occurring as a result of motor-vehicle and sporting accidents, and falls.
Dr Quarrington graduated from a Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical and Sports) with first class honours in 2012, before undertaking a multidisciplinary PhD through the Schools of Medicine and Mechanical Engineering at The University of Adelaide. During his PhD (conferred in December 2018), Dr Quarrington used statistical analysis of patient data from medical records and images, and biomechanical testing of cadaver material, to investigate the epidemiology, clinical outcomes, and injury mechanisms of cervical spine (neck) trauma. The data obtained and techniques developed during his PhD provided the foundation for an Australian Research Council (ARC) Discovery Project Grant that funded his postdoctoral research position until establishing his own research program mid-2022.
