Wei Yin, PhD (he/him/his)

Assistant Professor
New Jersey Institute of Technology
Kearny, New Jersey, United States

My name is Wei Yin, and I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Neuromechanics Lab of the Department of Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Science, University of Maryland School of Medicine. My research focuses on the development of a multidimensional perturbation system for fall prevention, robotics-enhanced elliptical rehabilitation training for knee osteoarthritis, and robotics-based hand and ankle rehabilitation training after stroke. In 2022, I earned my Ph.D. in biomechanics from Texas A&M University. During my Ph.D. program, I accomplished multiple collaborative and interdisciplinary projects related to wearable sensors and biomechanical human movement analysis. I developed an alignment-free algorithm for flexible wearable sensors to achieve ambulatory gait kinematics measurement and established a flexible wearable sensor-based biodynamic analysis system for ambulatory assessment of human-exoskeleton interactions. Before my Ph.D. program, I received a Master’s degree in Biomedical Engineering at Peking University where I focused on gait analysis of ACL-deficient knees. I’m a passionate and self-motivated biomechanist with seven years of advanced interdisciplinary research experience in biomechanical human motion analysis, seeking to apply miscellaneous data collection and fusion skills to the development of life-changing technologies for rehabilitation and human performance enhancement.
