Biography

Dr. Li's research focuses on the development of bio-mechatronic systems for gait rehabilitation and mobility assistance applications. His research activities are in the following three areas: (1) energy efficient lower-limb wearable robotic devices for mobility assistance, (2) biomechanical energy harvesting, and (3) ambulatory systems for gait analysis and active surveillance. He is willing to work with researchers from economically developing countries (e.g. China) to strengthen their research capacities in the field of biomechanics.
