簡歷
陳朗遇教授於香港理工大學(理大)取得物理治療學(榮譽)理學士學位,並於香港中文大學完成流行病學與生物統計學理學碩士課程,獲頒最佳學業成績及畢業生代表奬。透過澳洲研究培訓計劃,他其後獲新南威爾斯大學(UNSW)頒授哲學博士學位。
他的臨床經驗涵蓋香港公立醫院的急症、門診及復康服務,以及悉尼的臨床工作。在重返理大前,他曾任新南威爾斯大學講師,負責設計及統籌神經物理治療課程。他統籌的「神經系統臨床實踐」課程於2025年獲頒健康科學學院年度最佳課程獎。
陳教授主導開發的WatchWalk演算法,利用腕戴式感測器量度日常步行速度、步態質素及活動水平。該演算法已應用於多項大型國際人口研究,並透過網上數據處理平台供國際研究團隊使用。這項技術亦已獨家授權予一家於澳洲證券交易所上市的科技公司,推動研究成果的知識轉移及商業應用。他的研究獲澳洲中風基金會及慈善捐助者支持。此外,陳教授在香港政府支持的社會創新計劃資助下,將研究成果轉化為社區活動能力篩查工具,應用於香港長者的活動能力評估,協助識別需要進一步支援的人士。
陳教授的研究成果刊登於多份具領導地位的學術期刊,包括《Age and Ageing》及《The Journals of Gerontology: Series A》。其研究工作屢獲殊榮,包括UNSW健康科學學院年度最佳早期職涯研究學者獎(2025年)、UNSW生物醫學工程研究生學院年度最佳數碼醫學與數碼生物學論文獎(2024年),以及澳洲神經科學研究院(NeuRA)傑出學術出版獎(2023年)。他亦透過擔任學術期刊編輯、參與研究資助評審及國際科學委員會工作,為學術界作出貢獻。
