About Me
I am currently a post-doctoral scholar work with Dr. Yue Wen and Dr. Helen J. Huang at the University of Central Florida. I received my Ph.D. degree at the University of Central Florida working at the Wearable Engineering and Assistive Robotics (WEAR) Laboratory under Dr. Joon-Hyuk Park. My research focuses on developing wearable robots to assist and enhance human physical performance and understand how do humans incorporate with wearble robots.
From Wearable Robotics to Neural Interfaces: A Journey Toward Enhancing Lives Through Seamless Human-Machine Integration
Recent advancements in sensors, electronics, materials, and power sources have paved the way for innovative wearable robots designed to aid, enable, or augment human activities. Despite these advancements, several challenges still hinder the effectiveness and practicality of current wearable robots. Fundamental questions remain unanswered:
- How can we create wearable robots that are both effective and user-friendly?
- How can we develop human-centric wearable robots that incorporate the human element into their control systems?
- How can we ensure the safety of subjects while developing novel wearable robots?
During my Ph.D. training, my major research projects focused on developing a myoelectric bilateral cable-driven exosuit for bilateral upper body augmentation and investigating the implementation of deep reinforcement learning in a predictive neuromusculoskeletal simulator.
