Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology in the Musculoskeletal System

Prof. Jin is Professor of Computational Bioengineering at the Institute of Medical and Biological Engineering, and Visiting Honorary Professor for Mechanical Engineering, University of Leeds, UK. His research interests are joint replacement and substitution, tissue re-engineering, and functional spinal interventions, focusing on improving function using structural biomaterials. Dr Junyan Li is a Senior Lecturer at Middlesex University, UK. Dr. Li’s current research interests are the study of bone, joint and muscle mechanisms, and the evaluation of treatment outcomes for musculoskeletal conditions. In particular, he is developing new modelling technologies and platforms to couple biomechanics and biotribology in the musculoskeletal system. Zhenxian Chen is Senior Engineer of Mechanical Engineering, Chang’an University. He is mainly engaged in implant bionic design, and the biotribology and biomechanics of artificial joints in the musculoskeletal system.
