Yunhua Luo earned his Ph.D. from the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, and is currently a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Manitoba. He was a Research Fellow at Karlsruhe University (2000–2002), a Research Associate at the Scientific Computation Research Center (SCOREC), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (RPI) (2002–2004), then joined the Department of Civil Engineering, University of Manitoba as a Research Associate in 2004, then was appointed Assistant Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering in 2006, and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2012. His research work has been devoted to the understanding and solution of various mechanical and biomechanical problems by developing advanced finite element methods and models. The involved research areas include (1) Characterization and design of composite materials by developing novel micromechanics and finite element models; (2) Understanding of biomechanical and biomedical factors affecting bone strength and hip fracture by developing multi-level biomechanics models; (3) Study of mechanistic causes of brain injury and improvement of helmet performance for the prevention of concussion.
