| Lei graduated in Mechanical Engineering and then went on to complete a Ph.D. in Vehicle Engineering from National Lab of Automotive Dynamic Simulation, Jilin University, P.R. China. He then came to England and worked on a UK Ministry of Defense project on biomechanics of human locomotion with load carriage, at the Centre for Rehabilitation and Human Performance Research, University of Salford. Lei worked at the RVC from August 2005-October 2007, working on elephant locomotor performance with Dr. John R Hutchinson. He now is a Lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manchester, but maintains a presence in our lab. Lei is interested in understanding biomechanics and motor control of animal and human locomotion using mathematical, physical and engineering methods (e.g. computational multi-body dynamics, dynamical system theory and non-linear time series analysis).
Research Interests: Predictive modelling of human, animal locomotion Computational modelling of musculoskeletal system and neural control system Load carriage biomechanics Robotics Clinical biomechanics Functions of elastic and damping components in biomechanical systems Development of computational software for biomechanics studies |
