Jamie Williams, Ph.D., is one of the foremost authorities in her field. Her expertise is focused on orthopedic and musculoskeletal biomechanics in scenarios including falls, vehicle crashes, sports and recreational injuries, and failed medical implants or devices, as well as other catagories.
Dr. Williams is a visiting professor at Rush University Medical Center, Chicago, and adjunct professor at the University of Illinois, Chicago in the Department of Bioengineering. She was also formerly Assistant Director of the Orthopedic Biomechanics Laboratory at Rush, and is the recipient of three grants from the National Institute of Health.
Dr. Williams has written publications in the Journal of Biomechanics, the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, and Spine. She has presented her research internationally, including conferences for the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, the International Society of Biomechanics and the Orthopaedic Research Society. She is a member of the Orthopaedic Research Society, the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, among a number of other professional affiliations.

- Scald - Biomechanics Expert Investigates Ability of Users to Avoid Injury
A security guard was badly scalded by hot water from an outdoor hose bibb. She had been patrolling a public housing complex when she saw water running and tried to shut off the valve. As soon as the hot water hit her skin, she was scalded. We measured the water temperature at over 185 degrees F. Tracing the lines back through the system showed ,how in the course of repairs, maintenance workers had piped the bibb from a tap into the nearby hot water piping instead of the cold.

- In 2007 Motor Vehicle Collisions Resulted in Excess of 40,000 Fatalities
In 2007 motor vehicle collisions resulted in excess of 40,000 fatalities
and almost 2,500,000 injuries, according to the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s website. It is often important to
determine both how a crash occurred and the underlying causes
of both the crash and resultant injury.
