Current Appointments
Research Fellow (Conjoint)Key Research Areas
Dr Chan PhD, MACP, Physio is a lecturer at the University of New South Wales and a conjoint research fellow at Neuroscience Research Australia. He holds a Doctor of Philosophy degree from UNSW, a Master's in Epidemiology and Biostatistics with Salutatorian honours from CUHK, and a Bachelor's degree in Physiotherapy with honours from PolyU. In addition to his academic work, Lloyd has extensive experience as a physiotherapist, providing care to stroke survivors and people with Parkinson's disease across acute hospitals, rehabilitation centres, and outreach settings.
His research focuses on two key areas: quantifying daily-life walking speed and quality, and predicting diseases using smartwatches. The resultant innovations have been adopted by fellow researchers and translated into actual clinical practices. Currently, he is working on sensor-based gait abnormality detection in various clinical populations, including people with Parkinson's disease, stroke survivors and those with proximal femoral fractures.
