Li Jin

Dr. Li Jin is an Assistant Professor at San José State University's Department of Kinesiology, specializing in biomechanics. He holds a Ph.D. and M.S. in Human Physiology (Biomechanics) from the University of Oregon and a B.S. in Kinesiology from Shanghai University of Sport. His research focuses on lower extremity biomechanics, footwear evaluation, injury prevention, and balance control during locomotion. He teaches undergraduate and graduate biomechanics courses, integrating his research into pedagogy.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Human Physiology (Biomechanics), University of Oregon
• M.S. in Human Physiology (Biomechanics), University of Oregon
• B.S. in Kinesiology, Shanghai University of Sport

Research Interests:

Dr. Jin's work explores biomechanical patterns in lower extremity locomotion, footwear design impacts, and wearable sensor applications. His three core areas include: (1) mechanics of lower extremity movements during walking/running; (2) 3D-printed footwear evaluation and injury prevention; and (3) clinical gait balance control via wearable sensors. His studies emphasize gait economy, injury reduction, and fall prevention.
