Summary
Yixuan He is a PhD student at UNSW and NeuRA with 11 years of engineering experience bridging robotics, mechanical design and applied biomechanics. He has designed award-winning inspection robots for natural gas pipelines—work that produced three Chinese patents, one US patent and a prototype proven in extreme environments—while also publishing in a core Peking University journal. Proficient with tools from SolidWorks and Abaqus to ADAMS, Altium and MATLAB, he combines hands-on prototyping and manufacturing knowledge with systems-level design. Currently he applies VR-driven gait training to fall prevention in older adults, translating robotics expertise into neurorehabilitation. His background spans industry roles including nuclear engineering and academic teaching, giving him a practical, safety-focused mindset uncommon in pure-research engineers.
