Timothy Joganich, MSES, C.H.F.P. :: Accident Reconstruction & Safety :: Mechanical Engineering

Introduction

Mr. Joganich is one of the nation’s leading experts in bicycle accident investigations. He applies his over 25 years of experience in the sciences of engineering, human movement, biomechanics and human factors, along with his extensive cycling experience, to bicycle accident investigations. Issues that Mr. Joganich addresses include reconstruction, rider behavior, bicycle assembly, product failures and helmets.

Mr. Joganich has a B.S. in mechanical engineering and a M.S. in Exercise Science with an emphasis in biomechanics both from Arizona State University. He is a CHFP (Certified Human Factors Professional). Mr. Joganich’s cycling experience spans over 30 years and includes racing at the national level, commuting, long-distance touring and recreational riding. Mr. Joganich is a Certified Instructor for bicycle safety through the League of American Wheelmen. He is also a member of the ASTM (American Society of Testing and Materials) Committee F08 on bicycle safety standards.
