Dr Huiling Tan

Huiling graduated with a BSc (Hons) from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, China, in the field of Control Engineering. She started a project for her PhD in the University of Oxford in January 2003, conducting research on measurement uncertainties, sensor fusion and data processing. Huiling joined the structure and motion lab at the RVC in August 2006, working on a project designing wearable wireless sensors to monitor the performance of athletes in sprinting. She is interested in how to combine data from different kinds of sensors to reduce the uncertainty of the measurements and uncertainty, and presenting the data to athletes and coaches in an accessible and useful form.
