Speakers Introduction:
Professor Liudi Jiang is Professor of Materials and Electromechanical Systems within Engineering and Physical Sciences at the University of Southampton. Liudi has a BEng and MSc in Applied Physics. She received her PhD from the University of Dundee in 2002. She was appointed a RCUK Academic Fellow (Roberts Fellow)/Lecturer in 2006 at the University of Southampton, Associate Professor in 2013 and Professor in 2015. She is a Chartered Physicist, Chartered Engineer and a Fellow of the IET. She has multidisciplinary research expertise across electromechanical sensors/actuators, advanced nanomaterials & devices, and intelligent systems. She has over 15 years’ experience in conducting research in the fields of e.g. healthcare technologies, wearable sensor systems, body interface systems, and human biomechanics. Her research interest also expands to micro/nano electromechanical systems, which is built upon novel material sciences, modelling and development of micro/nano-fabrication processes. She has a proven capability to bridge across different disciplines through collaborations with some of the best researchers in the UK. She has built a broad funding portfolio by attracting over £10 M in Research Funding from EPSRC, MRC, NIHR, UKRI, British Heart Foundation, and industry. She has published over 100 papers. She is the Engineering Lead of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Prosthetics & Orthotics. She is currently the Head of the Engineering Materials Research Group.
Professor David Moser, PhD, Director of Research and Development, Small Robot Company. He was the chief technical officer of Blatchford Basingstoke Company, one of the leading prosthetics companies in the world. He is a senior consultant for the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC). He was awarded George Murdoch Medal 2016 (ISPO UK MS, awarded for outstanding contribution to amputee rehabilitation), RAEng Mc Roberts Award 2016, RAEng Mc Roberts Award Finalist 2010 for the design of the echelon foot, BEEA (British Engineering Excellence Award 2009) for new product, BHTA (British Health Trade Association 2010) New Product of the Year, Thrandahart Lecture Prize AOPA 2008 (honorary lecture prize).
