Biography

Phillis is a senior research fellow at RRIS, with the passion in biomechanics research, especially in injury risk reduction. She has a diverse background in biomechanics research and mechanical engineering, with 6.5 years of industry experience. She has been a mentor to 11 FYP students, 1 URECA student, 2 exchange students and junior staff, leading to the successful completion of industry and academic projects. Her previous research included sport injury risk reduction; human perception in comfort and fit; mechanical shoe testing; 3D printed brace development using metamaterial structures; and biomechanics study of customized 3D printed insoles, especially for people with flat feet.
