Degree | Major Emphasis | Institution | Year |
---|---|---|---|
Ph.D. | Bioengineering | University of Utah | 2006 |

M.S. | Bioengineering | University of Utah | 2002 |
Dr. Seung-Jae Kim received his B.S. and M.S degrees in Mechanical engineering from Han-Yang University, and Pohang University of Science & Technology, Korea,
respectively. He then received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Bioengineering from the University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
In the fall of 2011, Dr. Kim joined the College of Engineering at 本色视频. Prior to this, from 2006-2011, he worked as a post-doctoral research fellow conducting multiple research projects in the fields of biomechanics and neural engineering at the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems at Arizona State University.
Dr. Kim has extensive experience in the field of biomedical research, especially in the areas of neural prostheses, biomechanics, and rehabilitation research. Inspired by his hemophiliac brother, Dr. Kim鈥檚 interest in assistive technologies also led him to conduct several studies where nerve stimulation and neural recording techniques were employed in attempts to regain sensorimotor functions. His recent research focuses on developing better forms of rehabilitative gait training by employing visual feedback technologies (for more details on Dr. Kim鈥檚 research topic, visit http://biokimcom.g3.cc/BioKimLab/BKL_Home.html) .
He also has a strong interest in education. He worked as a consultant at colleges in the Philippines as he organized and expanded the curriculum of the Department of Mechanical Engineering. He also has had many years of consulting experience with the exhibit development teams at the Utah Science Center, a program providing education and skills to both students and adults in science, engineering, and mathematics.
He is married and they have two sons. He enjoys playing tennis, reading, and writing essays.

From 2006-2011, Dr. Kim worked as a post-doctoral research fellow conducting multiple research projects in the fields of neuro-rehabilitation engineering and biomechanics at the Center for Adaptive Neural Systems at Arizona State University and the Newman Laboratory for Biomechanics and Human Rehabilitation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Dr. Kim has extensive experience in the field of biomedical research, especially in the areas of neural prostheses, biomechanics, and rehabilitation research. His recent research focuses on developing better forms of rehabilitative gait training by employing combinational strategies that include robot-assisted, functional electrical stimulation, and visual feedback technologies. Inspired by his hemophiliac brother, Dr. Kim鈥檚 interest in assistive technologies also led him to conducting several studies where nerve stimulation and neural recording techniques were employed to regain sensorimotor functions. The long-term goals of his research are to understand and improve rehabilitation therapy and to develop assistive devices that help people with disabilities to regain their lost functions.
