Mini-Bio
Ziyu Chen seeks to investigate the mechanisms of human motion and musculoskeletal dysfunctions via computational approaches. He focuses on automated musculoskeletal modeling, with the aim of accurate and convenient subject-specific applications in medicine and athletic training. He is also interested in the biomechanics of skeletal muscles and the principles of neuromuscular control.
Ziyu Chen joined Prof. Dr. David Franklin's Group of Neuromuscular Diagnostics in 2019 and also works at MIRMI for the Geriatronics Project. The project mission is to tackle challenges arising from the aging population with robotics and machine intelligence, and he is responsible for the subproject Monitoring and Visualization of the Human Musculoskeletal System. He is also the protégé of M.Sc. M.Sc. Tingli Hu, who leads the Human Motor Control Lab at MIRMI.
