Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Stephen M. Bowman's research interests lie in the study of trauma, injury outcomes, and related health disparities. His work has examined trends in hospitalizations associated with pediatric traumatic brain injuries and the characteristics of hospitals managing pediatric splenic injuries. Bowman has also investigated racial disparities in outcomes for individuals with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury and the association between different emergency medical services and survival rates for adults with major trauma.

His research has also extended to the biomechanics of bone, with publications exploring the contributions of creep to the fatigue behavior of bovine trabecular bone. Additionally, Bowman has contributed to the field of nuclear safety analysis, with publications on comprehensive nuclear safety analysis code systems and reactor physics methods. He maintains an active lab website and has a publication record of 143 papers, with an h-index of 26 and over 2,500 citations.
