...My doctoral work included the compilation of hundreds of medical case reports following blasts, and the computational modeling of those blasts, to develop the first set of data-based risk curves to assess the risk of injury to a person underwater from an explosion. To build upon that work, I performed a comprehensive analysis of the problems of survival inside the Civil War miniature submarine HL Hunley to try to solve the 150-year-old mystery of the deaths of the crew. I ultimately used a combination of live charge experiments and advanced physics to conclude that the crew died from blast transmission through the hull of their vessel, but I also analyzed the risks from ocean factors, breathing gas supply, and ballistic trauma to the hull to eliminate all reasonable theories....

Complications in surgery and identifying causes of death are critical, requiring an in-depth record analysis and witness depositions. The approach i take is similar to what the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) performs after an airplane crash. There is always one place in a disaster which can be identified as the causation. The surgeon, anesthesia, medical staff, institution, laboratory records, and the condition of the patient all must be looked into to determine what happened.
