Enthusiastic about teaching Systems Engineering and Systems Thinking to engineers in the traditional disciplines.
Erika Pliner
Lab – Neuroergonomics & Occupational Biomechanics Laboratory
We focus our core competencies on biomechanics, neuroscience, and ergonomics to improve personal and occupational safety. We design experiments that leverage wearable systems to characterize the complexity of human-environment interactions. This knowledge is applied towards interventions for safe and effective activity.
Haohan Zhang
Lab – Utah Wearable Robotics Laboratory
We specialize in wearable robotic solutions by leveraging mechanism design and modern computational methods. We strive to understand the sensorimotor system through experiments using wearable robotic platforms. Our laboratory aspires to make a positive impact on daily living of individuals with motor impairments through increased independence and social inclusion.
