Dr. Shekhawat specializes in accident reconstruction and biomechanics of human injury. He analyzes and resolves accidents using fundamental principles and presents them in easy-to-understand language. He provides examination and analysis in both biomechanics and biodynamics for various accident situations, such as falls, traffic collisions, altercations, and workplace accidents. His doctoral research focused on the load‐bearing ability of cartilage from healthy and injured joints of the knee and ankle. Dr. Shekhawat routinely serves as a reviewer for international journals, including Elsevier and the American Journal of Sports Medicine.

At J.S. Held, Vivek is involved in analyzing and resolving collision dynamics using fundamental principles and presenting the findings in clear, easy-to-understand language. He offers assessment and analysis in accident reconstruction and in biomechanics for injury mechanisms in collisions.

He holds a PhD in Bioengineering from the University of Illinois at Chicago, a Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering from the Illinois Institute of Technology, following a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering from Nagpur University. Vivek has presented and published in 20 works on accident reconstruction and the biomechanics of human injury relating to collisions.
