معرفی
Dr. Ziyun Ding is a Lecturer in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Birmingham, UK. Her research focuses on computational biomechanics, particularly the in-vivo and in-silico analysis of human locomotion, musculoskeletal systems, and lower limb amputee biomechanics. She combines medical imaging with computational modeling to develop personalized strategies for rehabilitation and surgical interventions. A key contribution includes a 2019 study on neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) to reduce medial knee loading in osteoarthritis, published in Proceedings of the Royal Society A.
Research Interests:
Dr. Ding’s work bridges biomechanics and clinical applications. Her studies integrate musculoskeletal modeling, biomechanical analysis, and advanced imaging techniques to address musculoskeletal injury mechanisms and rehabilitation technologies. She investigates how external interventions like NMES can non-surgically redistribute joint loads, offering potential therapies for knee osteoarthritis.
Grants & Collaborations:
Her research is supported by the Medical Engineering Solutions in Osteoarthritis Centre of Excellence, funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). She collaborates with the Musculoskeletal Biomechanics Group at Imperial College London, advancing computational models for clinical applications.
