Dr. Fangshi Zhu received his B.S. and M.S. in Electronics and Information Engineering from the Northwestern Polytechnical University of China in 2010 and 2013, and Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Houston in 2019. He subsequently joined the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation in the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and NeuroRecover Research Center at TIRR Memorial Hermann as a postdoctoral fellow. Dr. Zhu’s research interest focus on wearable robotics, neuroengineering, bio-signal processing and gait rehabilitation. (https://www.linkedin.com/in/fangshi-zhu/)

Dr. Zhu studies the effect of powered exoskeleton-assisted gait training on users' gait biomechanics, neurocortical dynamics, muscular coordination and energy expenditure using multi-modality instrumentation (electroencephalography, electromyography, optical motion capture, IMU-based motion estimation and metabolic consumption monitoring). Dr. Zhu has found that direct assistance from powered exoskeletons could correct users' abnormal posture, improve compromised muscle coordination post-neural injury, reduce energy expenditure rate and promote neural adaptation over longitudinal training.
