Footwear Optimization

We design and evaluate personalized footwear and insoles using 3D printing, functionally graded materials, and lattice structures. Our work enhances biomechanical efficiency, reduces injury risk, and optimizes user comfort across sports and daily activities.

  Presentation

Mobility Mechanics

By integrating musculoskeletal simulation with sensor-based motion tracking, we analyze joint loading and movement patterns to design interventions for injury prevention and clinical rehabilitation, including applications for special populations with musculoskeletal disorders.

Neurological Adaptation

We investigate how cognitive load and fatigue influence motor performance. Using AI-driven modeling, biofeedback systems, and mindfulness strategies, we develop personalized training protocols that strengthen resilience and improve physical readiness.

Wearable Sensor Development

We design and develop advanced wearable sensors that capture human movement in real-world environments. Our systems integrate dry electrode sEMG, inertial measurement units (IMUs), and pressure insoles for accurate data collection.
