Kenneth Monson

Kenneth Monson, PhD, is an Adjunct Associate Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Utah. He supports the RMCOEH Ergonomics & Safety program and has dedicated over 20 years to researching cerebral blood vessels' response to traumatic brain injury (TBI), collaborating with institutions like UC Berkeley and UC San Francisco.

• Biomechanics of TBI
• Experimental approaches to cerebral blood vessel injury
• Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) dynamics

His work bridges neurology and biomedical engineering, focusing on the mechanical factors contributing to TBI pathology.

Dr. Monson's research spans three institutions: UC Berkeley (PhD training), UCSF's Brain and Spinal Injury Center, and the University of Utah, where he leads investigations into TBI-induced vascular damage and BBB dysfunction.
