Avdan is a Tenure-Track Assistant Professor in the Department of Engineering at 大象传媒. He earned his Ph.D. in Engineering Science (Industrial and Quality Engineering) from Southern Illinois University &#8211; Carbondale, and holds M.S. and B.S. degrees in Industrial Engineering from Southern Illinois University &#8211; Edwardsville and Istanbul Technical University. His research focuses on biomechanics, biomedical signal processing, wearable sensors and artificial intelligence to enhance ergonomics, human-robot collaboration, and healthcare systems.<\/p>\n<p>He has published in journals such as\u00a0<em>Neural Computing and Applications<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Biomedical Signal Processing and Control<\/em>,\u00a0and the\u00a0<em>Journal of Medical and Biological Engineering<\/em>; as well as serving as a reviewer for high-impact outlets including\u00a0<em>npj Digital Medicine\u00a0<\/em>(Nature)<em>, Artificial Intelligence Review\u00a0<\/em>(Springer), and\u00a0<em>Scientific Reports\u00a0<\/em>(Nature).<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Avdan has taught a wide range of courses with strong student evaluations, including Lean Production Systems, Engineering Materials, Dynamics, Computer Integrated Manufacturing, CNC Machining Processes, Manufacturing Methods, Methods Design &amp; Work Measurements, Technical Report Writing, and Programmable Logic Controllers. He is a member of IEEE and IEEE Engineering in Medicine &amp; Biology Society.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Goksu Avdan\u00a0supported the ABET accreditation efforts for the Construction Engineering Technology program, and the ABET visiting team\u2019s initial feedback during the site visit was very positive. He further strengthened the program by enabling closed-loop continuous improvement efforts inspired by the PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act) framework. In parallel with these efforts, during Fall 2025, two student-led posters were presented through applied collaborations at the Multidisciplinary Research Day at 大象传媒. In an industry collaboration with Altec Industries, his student Haydn Richardson presented \u201cErgonomic Design and Validation of a Foldable Ladder for AOKI DM45\/47 Operator Access,\u201d and this work has also been accepted for presentation at the\u00a0National Conference of Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2026. In an interdisciplinary collaboration with the Department of Health Professions (Dr. Justin Kraft and Dr. Maureen Holtz), his student Zachary Catron presented \u201cEffects of a Passive Neck Exoskeleton on NASA TLX, Perceived Fatigue, and Neck Pain During Milling and Lathe Operations.\u201d In addition, he submitted a conference paper titled \u201cErgonomics Sensing in Industry 5.0 Human-Robot Collaboration: Current Trends and Future Directions\u201d to the\u00a011th North American International Conference on Industrial Engineering and Operations Management. Also, during 2025, he published and disseminated research aligned with our commitment to applied, high-impact scholarship. His journal article, \u201cIMU-Trans: Imputing Missing Motion Capture Data with Unsupervised Transformers,\u201d was accepted in\u00a0Neural Computing and Applications\u00a0(Impact Factor: 4.5). He also published \u201cEvaluating Worker Performance and Ergonomic Risks Using EMG and Kinematics: A MIMO Approach\u201d in the\u00a0Journal of Applied Research on Industrial Engineering\u00a0in collaboration with Dr. Sohyung Cho (Kennesaw State University) and his graduate student. Additionally, he co-authored a conference proceedings paper with his student Kolby Scott Sweiger, \u201cBio-Based Neck Orthosis Design: Structural Comparison of Circular, Elliptical, and Honeycomb Patterns Using Finite Element Analysis,\u201d which was presented at the\u00a02025 IEEE 8th International Conference on Electrical, Electronics, and System Engineering (ICEESE). He also pursued external funding aligned with School and University goals by submitting an NSF Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) proposal, \u201cERI: Real-Time Multimodal Ergonomic Risk Prediction and Robotic Adaptation for Safety-Aware Human-Robot Collaboration,\u201d to the ENG\/CMMI M3X program; the proposal is currently pending. This project uses EMG and plantar pressure sensing to predict REBA scores during human-robot collaboration and enable real-time robot adaptation to reduce ergonomic risk, with a requested budget of $199,239.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"modal-footer\"><a class=\"fusion-button button-default button-medium button default medium\"
