Prof. IR. Dr. Noor Azuan Abu Osman graduated from the University of Bradford, UK, with a B.Eng. Hons. in mechanical engineering, followed by an M.Sc. and Ph.D. in bioengineering from the University of Strathclyde, UK. He is a practicing engineer and professor of biomechanics with the Faculty of Engineering, University of Malaya, Malaysia. His research interests are quite wide-ranging under the general umbrella of biomechanics. However, his main interests are the measurement of human movement, prosthetics design, the development of instrumentation for forces and joint motion, and the design of prosthetics, orthotics, and orthopedics. Prior to joining the University of Malaya in 1995, he worked as a mechanical and electrical engineer and was actively involved in many consultancy projects, especially in the field of biomechanics and biomechanical engineering.
