معرفی
Ya Huang is an Associate Professor in Human Motion Dynamics at the University of Portsmouth, affiliated with the School of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering within the Faculty of Technology. He specializes in human responses to motion, signal processing, and vibration analysis. Huang joined Portsmouth in 2009 after postdoctoral research at the University of Sheffield on structural dynamics and earned his PhD in human responses to whole-body vibration from the Institute of Sound and Vibration Research (ISVR), University of Southampton (2008).
Education:
- PhD in Human Responses to Whole-Body Vibration, University of Southampton (2008)
- Postdoctoral Researcher, Blast and Impact Dynamics Group, University of Sheffield
Research Interests: Dr. Huang focuses on applying analytical and computational methods to understand human biomechanical responses to whole-body vibration and mechanical shocks across land, air, and sea transport. Key areas include:
- Development of signal reconstruction methodologies for vibration analysis
- Maritime safety through real-time wave imaging and vessel seakeeping optimization
- Musculoskeletal modelling for crew bracing strategies on fast lifeboats
Grants & Projects:
- EPSRC-funded project (EP/X035778/1) for real-time semantic wave imaging in maritime safety
- Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI)-funded studies on crew dynamics on lifeboats
- Development of stereo vision systems for ocean wave analysis
Awards:
- Best Conference Paper Award at IEEE Conference on Intelligent Systems (2020)
Labs & Teams: Part of the Centre of Excellence in Defence, Risk & Resilience. Collaborates on projects involving hydrodynamics, autonomous vessels, and human-centred marine transport design.
