Research

I'm Qiang Zhang. My research is in the areas of biological signal-based neuromusculoskeletal modeling, control of rehabilitative/assistive robotic exoskeletons and functional electrical stimulation, human-robot interaction, human motion intent prediction, neuromuscular signals processing (surface electromyography and ultrasound US imaging), human locomotion biomechanics, Lyapunov-based nonlinear control and adaptive control, machine learning-based control, linear/nonlinear observer design, sensor fusion, and their applications to wearable robotic devices’ control and next-generation healthcare.

 

I was an active participant in working closely with the Neuromuscular Control and Robotics Lab (NCRL), the Neuromuscular Rehabilitation Engineering Lab (NREL), the Interdisciplinary Human Movement Research Lab at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University, and the Multi-modality Biomedical Ultrasound Imaging Lab at the University of Pittsburgh on several research projects.​
