Invited speech: Dr. Wei-Li Hsu
September 30, 2018
We invited Dr. Wei-Li Hsu today for our department seminar. Dr. Hsu is currently the associate professor of Dept. of Physical Therapy in National Taiwan University. She finished her undergraduate and MS program in our department and then received her PhD degree in Biomechanics and Movement Science Program, University of Delaware, followed by 2 years of postdoctoral research experience in Institute of Neuroscience, University of Oregon. In 2009, she came back to Taiwan and started her career in NTU.
Today, she shared her career in physical therapy with us. With her outgoing, adventurous, and enthusiastic personalities, she challenged herself with a diversity of research interests, including stroke rehabilitation, biomechanics, balance disorders, exoskeletal devices, and etc. She encouraged us to dare to challenge ourselves, to learn from mistakes, and finally to become the person we truly want to be.
Thank you!
