Kevin Adanty, PhD

Forensic Biomechanist
Biomechanical Consultants, Inc.
Davis, California, United States

Kevin Adanty, Ph.D., has a comprehensive background in both science and engineering. His academic journey includes a Bachelor of Science in human kinetics (Kinesiology) from the University of Ottawa in 2016 and a Master of Science in human kinetics in 2018, where he specialized in brain injury biomechanics in sports including cycling, equestrian, American football, and ice hockey. In 2023, Dr. Adanty earned his doctorate in mechanical engineering from the University of Alberta, shifting his focus to tissue biomechanics. Notably, he characterized the mechanics of the human calvarium (neurocranium) and designed a preliminary surrogate model intended for mimicking a skull fracture when testing helmets.

As a graduate student, Dr. Adanty excelled as a teaching assistant in various science and engineering disciplines, including musculoskeletal anatomy, exercise physiology, motor control, biomechanics, advanced strength of materials, and mechanical engineering experimentation. His expertise has also extended to guest lecturing experience on injury and tissue biomechanics.

Since 2017, Dr. Adanty has authored 20+ peer-reviewed manuscripts and conference proceedings in biomechanics, has presented globally at conferences on injury biomechanics, and actively reviews manuscripts for prestigious journals. In 2023, he joined Biomechanical Consultants, Inc., and has provided consulting and expert witness services in injury biomechanics for civil and criminal cases at federal and state levels. Dr. Adanty has been retained by both plaintiff and defense, testified, consulted for trial counsel in court, and has experience preparing federal reports.
