Julie A. Mansfield, PhD, is a Research Assistant Professor at The Ohio State University's Injury Biomechanics Research Center, an Affiliate Research Scientist at the Center for Injury Research and Prevention at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, and the Site Director for the Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies (CChIPS).

Her research primarily focuses on understanding the mechanics of injury; specifically, she is interested in the usage and performance of child restraint systems (CRS) in vehicles and the prevention of pediatric injury. Dr. Mansfield works closely with member company representatives in CChIPS to develop cutting-edge research ideas. These collaborations ensure that the resulting data can be used quickly and easily by industry leaders.

Dr. Mansfield serves on the Scientific Program Committee and Student Program Subcommittee for the Association for the Advancement of Automotive Medicine (AAAM), the Occupant Protection for Children Committee for the Lifesavers Conference, and the Technical Committee for the Injury Biomechanics Symposium. She is a Co-Organizer of the Occupant Restraints Session for the SAE International World Congress Experience and also serves as a manuscript reviewer for SAE International and Traffic Injury Prevention journals.
