David Howard began his career in the 1970s as an Engineering Apprentice with Hawker Siddeley Aviation and then with Lawrence, Scott and Electromotors, who later sponsored his undergraduate studies. He is now a Professor of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Salford, with research interests in Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES), to help those with partial paralysis post stroke, prosthetics (both upper and lower-limb), and the biomechanics of human movement. He has worked closely with other members of the team since the 1990s and co-leads Salford’s Human Movement Technologies research group.
