Yishu is a Ph.D. student majoring in Mechanical Engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. Yishu has her B.S. in Engineering Mechanics from Hohai University and her M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Johns Hopkins University, where she conducted research about additive manufacturing and material properties. She is currently performing research at the UC Ergonomics lab and Berkeley Biomechanics lab. Her research interest is using wearable technology to predict physical activities performed and the magnitude of weight handled for risk assessment. She hopes to develop a reliable method to quantify the physical exposure of workers and thereby prevent work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
