Welcome to visit Dr. Yang's research group within the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Texas Tech University. The HCDR Lab has one immediate open PhD research assistant position expected to start Fall 2013 or Spring 2014. If you are interested please contact Dr. Yang at james.yang@ttu.edu. (Posted on June 10, 2013) Objective: The purposes of the Human-Centric Design Research Lab are (1) to advance the understanding of human movement capabilities by means of modeling, simulation and experimentation, and develop computer software package that facilitates human-centric design, biomechanics analysis, ergonomics assessment, injury prediction, traffic safety system including digital human visibility prediction and human performance assessment. (2) to model and simulate the interaction between the human and personal protective equipment (helmets, goggles, and respirators, clothing, shoes, etc.) for hazard and discomfort assessments. (3) to promote intelligent for digital human models and simulate the action and interaction of individual digital human. (4) to advance computer-aided design and simulation of mechanical systems. (5) to promote human lives by developing novel medical devices such as hand/foot prosthesis, and other devices. (6) to enhance traffic safety systems by developing tools/models.
