Dr. Hwang has interdisciplinary expertise in human movement as well as a biomedical engineering perspective of the development of assistive systems for human movement disorders. He received his doctorate in Biomedical Engineering from Yonsei University in South Korea and has conducted human movement research at University of Maryland College Park and Temple University as a post-doc research associate. His academic foundation lies in the realms of biomedical engineering, biomechanics, rehabilitation engineering, kinesiology, and neuroscience. This interdisciplinary background has been instrumental in shaping his expertise in human movement and the development of assistive systems for individuals with movement disorders. While his academic journey has been rooted in rigorous research, he has also been deeply committed to addressing health disparities, especially in rural areas. He believes that everyone, regardless of their geographical location, deserves access to advanced technologies and therapies for improving their health outcomes. Therefore, his recent work aims to bridge this gap by developing innovative solutions that can be implemented in diverse healthcare settings, including rural communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Experiences and Interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Human movement analysis; multi-sensory and motor control system; assistive technology for movement disorders; static\/dynamic postural control and balance mechanism; artificial intelligence in exercise science; health disparities; overweight and obesity prevention; public health and student wellness<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sungjae Hwang, Ph.D., CBMS, CMHFAAssociate ProfessorDepartment of KinesiologySchool of Pharmacy and Health ProfessionsWilliam P.
