HBL members attend SES 2024 and BioMedEng24

HBL members participated in the 2024 Society of Engineering Science Annual Technical Meeting from 20th - 23rd August in Hangzhou, China. SES promotes the development and strengthening of the interfaces between various disciplines in engineering, sciences, mathematics, and related fields. 

Distinguished attendees included scholars and researchers from prestigious institutions such as MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, Stanford, ETH, Caltech, and Tsinghua University. The conference has been recognized as the leading forum for bringing together diverse groups of researchers to discuss advances in highly focused symposia.

Liang and Chenying contributed to the conference by presenting their recent research on origami-inspired design for robotics and wearable devices. The conference has facilitated interdisciplinary knowledge exchange and collaboration.

Chenying also presented a poster in BioMedEng24, the UK’s largest gathering of Biomedical Engineers, Medical Engineers and Bioengineers, which was held at the Queen Mary University of London on 5th - 6th September. The work highlights the lab's ongoing research in wrist exoskeletons for training and rehab, which has just received the university's ethics approval for patient engagement.

The Podium Institute for Sports Medicine and Technology has kindly funded these trips, alongside the Lockey Fund and the Institution of Engineering and Technology.
