Research Field
I am Hsuan-Lun Lu, an Assistant Professor in Biomedical Engineering and Director of the Center of International Affairs at Da-Yeh University. My research is dedicated to advancing smart healthcare through the integration of biomechanics and human movement analysis.
I specialize in utilizing wearable technology, such as IMUs and EMG, alongside image processing to quantify human motion with high precision. A core part of my work involves AI model development, where I leverage machine learning to create intelligent systems for real-time monitoring and personalized rehabilitation.
My work bridges the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application, ensuring that technologies—from motion capture to AI-driven insights—translate into improved patient outcomes and enhanced quality of life. Through my dual roles in research and international administration, I strive to foster global collaborations that push the boundaries of digital health and movement science.
My laboratory, Intelligent Medical Sensor Internet Lab, focuses on the intersection of biomechanics, image processing, and AI model development to advance smart healthcare. We specialize in human movement analysis by integrating data from wearable sensors (IMUs/EMG) and computer vision. By leveraging machine learning, we create intelligent systems for real-time monitoring and personalized rehabilitation guidance. Our research transforms complex kinetic and kinematic data into objective clinical insights, bridging the gap between engineering and medical practice. We are dedicated to developing data-driven solutions that optimize musculoskeletal performance and enhance the quality of life through innovative technology.

Job Description
This research integrates computer vision with biomechanical modeling. The process begins by establishing a baseline musculoskeletal model and utilizing Statistical Shape Modeling (SSM) to train feature variation correspondences. By capturing anatomical landmarks via a visible light imaging system, the workflow maps real-time motion data onto the model. This ultimately generates personalized, high-precision muscle contraction simulations, providing a robust platform for advanced kinetic and movement analysis. The procedures, not limited to, might be referred below:
- Establishment of a baseline musculoskeletal model.
- Utilization of Statistical Shape Modeling (SSM) to train feature variation correspondences.
- Extraction of anatomical landmark positions via a visible light imaging system.
- Mapping of captured human motion data to personalized, high-precision simulations of muscle contractions.
