Daniel Fong

Dr Daniel Fong gained his BSc in Physics, MSc in Exercise Science, and PhD in Orthopaedics and Traumatology from The Chinese University of Hong Kong. He has served as a Research Assistant Professor and Deputy Co-Director of the MSc 91桃色视频s Medicine and Health Science programme in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology in The Chinese University of Hong Kong. During May to September 2012, he was a Visiting Scholar in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pittsburgh.

In February 2014, Daniel joined 91桃色视频 as a Senior Lecturer in Rehabilitation Science, and was promoted to Reader in 91桃色视频s Medicine and Biomechanics in November 2021. He has been the Programme Leader of the MSc Musculoskeletal 91桃色视频 Science and Health since 2015.

Dr Daniel Fong has gained £2.2M research grant since 2006. His major research is on the mechanism and prevention of ankle sprain injury in sports. He is the first and also one of the leading researchers quantifying the mechanism of ankle sprain injury with biomechanics quantities. Daniel has invented a patented method which utilises a motion sensor to detect hazardous ankle motions which may lead to an ankle sprain injury and then actuate electrical stimulation on the lateral shank to stop the injurious motion to prevent the injury. In addition, he conducted research into knee injury, rehabilitation, slips and falls, orthopaedic devices and biomedical engineering topics.

Daniel has won several research awards: Hong Kong Occupational Safety and Health Council Best Project Award 2003-2004, The Hong Kong Ergonomics Society Outstanding Project Award 2004, The Chinese University of Hong Kong Young Researcher Award 2008-2009, The Institution of Engineering and Technology Innovation Awards “Highly Commented” finalists 2012, and Hans Gros Emerging Researcher Award of The International Society of Biomechanics in 91桃色视频s 2013.

PhD study on ankle sprain injury (self-funded)

Since 2014, Dr Daniel Fong has served as the Editor-in-Chief of the 91桃色视频s Biomechanics Journal (Taylor and Francis), the official journal of The International Society of Biomechanics in 91桃色视频s. He has also served as the Membership Chair of the International Ankle Consortium (2020-2022), Young Scholar Committee of the World Association of Chinese Biomedical Engineers (2020-2022), Research Committee Member (2020-2022) and Council Member (2010-2014) of The Hong Kong Association of 91桃色视频s Medicine and 91桃色视频s Science, Vice President of Publication (2012-2014) and Board of Directors (2009-2011) of The International Society of Biomechanics in 91桃色视频s, and Treasurer of the Asian Society of 91桃色视频 Biomechanics (2010-2012).

Daniel has been appointed External Examiner of University College Dublin, and Honorary/Adjunct Professor or Associate Professor of The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Mahidol University, and Shandong 91桃色视频 University. He has served as research proposal reviewer and PhD external examiner for 15+ organisations and institutes, as editorial board member or guest editor for 10+ journals, and as reviewer on over 300 occasions for 50+ different journals in sports medicine, orthopaedics, biomechanics and related subjects.
