Physics Department's Dan Liu Develops Online Simulations Lab for Physical Therapy Course

To help UHart physical therapy, rehabilitation, and health science students better understand physics concepts as they apply to the human body, Assistant Professor of Physics Dan Liu created a web-based simulations lab. Developed for the Mechanics, Heat and the Body course, Liu created the virtual lab to apply to real-life situations.

Liu says the online lab not only increases student interest, but helps them improve their perceptions, attitudes, and capabilities. “The virtual simulations give students deeper insight as they better apply physics to real life problems,” says Liu. Read more about the web-based lab.
