Human Factors & Ergonomics

Computational Biomechanics & Ergonomics

We use finite element analysis, dynamic simulation and human-centered experiments to evaluate medical devices and consumer products and to quantify comfort and safety.

• Spinal, pelvic and femoral implant systems under different loading and motion conditions

• Electric-field and temperature prediction in biological tissue using FEA

• Ergonomic design of home appliances and vehicle seats

• Driving comfort and motion-sickness evaluation and reduction

• Shear-force sensors and measurement dummies for human-machine interfaces

Gait Assistance & Bio-signal Monitoring

• Robotic and passive gait-assistance devices with AI-based environment perception

• Markerless motion analysis and deep learning for muscle-synergy prediction

• Wearable and textile-based ECG/EMG monitoring
