Mission
iHADLab research group started its mission in 2020 with a commitment to innovation, constant improvement, and respect for the environment. iHADLab is aimed at being a pioneer research group in the field of human and animal assistive devices with a significant impact on the healthcare of society. We thrive to conduct novel research on developing future-forward medical devices that help patients to recover faster from diseased and traumatic injuries.
Vission
Our Team is made of talented and passionate researchers who are excited to be a leader in their field of expertise. They are the reason we can accomplish what we do. iHADLab research group is dedicated to leading the future of musculoskeletal biomechanics through its research, innovative solutions, and translational research.
Values
It is important for us to continuously improve our collaboration with other research centres, industry partners, and society. We strive to maximize our productivity while being mindful of our social responsibilities.

In iHADLab, we conduct multiscale analyses, ranging from in-situ tissue joint loading, to the development of patient assistive devices, and to the simulation of musculoskeletal pathology under mechanical loading. The outcome of each hierarchical size scale study describes a different aspect of the tissue mechanobiology. Thus, by cross-linking these findings, we hope to discover the load sharing mechanism, predict tissue failure, and assist treatments.
Our lab researches include a wide range of topics such as design of human assistive devices and tissue mechanics. We use theoretical and experimental approaches toward understanding the mechanobiology of tissues, such as cartilage. We also apply machine learning techniques on the clinical images, such as CT scans, to diagnose soft tissue diseases.
In iHADLab, diversity is a culture. We promote women leaders in engineering and support young female engineers to become successful and cultivate their creativity and allowing it to flourish. We stand to make the current gender gap a thing of the past.
