Detailed Program
Sunday, December 3, 2006
The conference will start on the afternoon of December 3rd. Following introductory remarks, presentations and discussions will focus on a description of Polytrauma injuries, the problems faced by individuals with these injuries, and the physical/biological mechanisms by which the injuries occur (i.e. technically how various parts of the human body respond to blasts). All the presentations will be held in Spanos Auditorium (Cummings 100) in the Thayer School of Engineering.
