Biography

Dr. Jian Wang's research focuses on muscle fatigue and multisensory integration. His research has received support from National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High-tech R&D Program of China (863 Program), and National Key Technology Research and Development Program. He designed the exerci-se restraint systems for astronauts on Chinese large space stations such as Tiangong 1 & 2.

Dr. Wang is the executive member or fellow in many professional and academic organizations, such as the Chinese Ergonomics Society, Innovation Design Alli-ance of China, National School Sports Robot League, and China Health Care Association. He is the author of more than 10 books and more than 150 referred 

journal articles. He is also the recipient of Zhejiang Province Science and Technology Progress Award Second Prize, Chinese Good Design Silver Award, and 

many other awards and honors.
