Ms. Watts’ area of practice involves the investigation and reconstruction of accidents including those resulting in traumatic injury. As a Senior Scientist for Explico, Ms. Watts performs inspections, reviews peer-reviewed, generally accepted scientific literature, and organizes other incident-related materials such as police reports and medical records to provide ample support for accident reconstruction, biomechanics, and human factors analyses.
Ms. Watts has experience investigating, documenting, and 3D scanning evidence from a variety of vehicle collisions, workplace incidents resulting in injury, and vehicle-pedestrian collisions, to name a few. She is also a certified Crash Data Retrieval (CDR) technician and Remote Pilot in Command. During inspections, she regularly images event data recorders in order to retrieve information from crash events and operates drones to capture aerial data. Ms. Watts uses information gathered in the field to perform analyses to reconstruct a wide variety of incidents.
Ms. Watts is currently a student at Wayne State University, where she is pursuing her PhD in biomedical engineering on the injury biomechanics track. Prior to joining Explico, Ms. Watts was a biomedical engineering student at Lawrence Technological University, where she was also the captain of the varsity women’s golf team. During the school year, she tutored math, science, and engineering courses. During the summers, she held internships to gain experience in engineering.
