Proceedings of the 2nd Human Engineering Symposium : Humens 2023, Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia

This book acts as a compilation of papers presented in the 2nd Human Engineering Symposium (HUMENS 2023), held at Pekan, Pahang, Malaysia. The symposium covers the following research topics: ergonomics, biomechanics, sports technology, medical device and instrumentation, artificial intelligence / machine learning, industrial design, rehabilitation, additive manufacturing, modelling and bio-simulation, and signal processing. The articles published will be of interest to researchers and practitioners from the medical device manufacturers, healthcare, rehabilitation and sports technology.

Dr. Mohd Nadzeri Omar received the B.Eng. (Hons) and Ph. D. degrees from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia, in 2013 and 2017 respectively. He is a senior lecturer with the Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang. He is also attached to the Human Engineering Research Group which focuses on research, development and innovations in human-centered technology and products. His research interests include soft tissue modelling, sports technology, biomechanical engineering and mechatronics. 

Dr. Nasrul Hadi Johari obtained his PhD in Biofluid Mechanics from Imperial College London, United Kingdom. He is currently a senior lecturer at the Faculty of Mechanical and Automotive Engineering Technology, Universiti Malaysia Pahang. Dr. Johari’s research activities include computational modeling of blood flow, tissue mechanics and mass transport in the cardiovascular system, with applications ranging from evaluatingthe hemodynamic performance of medical devices to predict the outcome of endovascular interventional procedures. He is also interested in computational and experimental modeling of the interaction between human and sports equipment particularly in improving training aid systems and injury prevention. 

Dr. Yongmin Zhong is currently an Associate Professor with the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University, Australia. His research interests include computational engineering, haptics, soft tissue modeling, surgical simulation, aerospace navigation and control, intelligent systems, and robotics.
