I have a PhD in mechanical and eletrical engineering and a postdoc in wearables for movement biomechanics and have a strong background in biomechanics, embedded programming, machine learning, and IMU. I am currently a postdoctoral researcher with Wearable Systems Laboratory at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, supervised by Prof. Peter Shull. My postdoctoral research aim is to investigate biomechanics of humans in landing tasks using wearable sensors and machine learning.
My PhD research aim is to investigate adaptive neural control based on central pattern generators, reflex chains, sensory feedback and learning mechanisms. The control can not only enable legged robots (e.g., quadruped robots) to autonomously generate adaptive self‐organized locomotion and also contribute to the understanding of biological neural mechanisms of animals. A secondary objective is to develop a generic adaptive neural controller, which can directly be applied in various legged robots with different morphology.
