His research focuses on biomechanics, particularly human gait, posture, daily activity levels, and sleep quality. He uses advanced technologies such as 3D motion capture, the Gait Real Time Analysis Interactive Laboratory (GRAIL), Electromyography (EMG), wearable Inertial Measurement Units (IMU), and force plates, and is proficient in MATLAB, Python, Arduino, LabVIEW, JMP, and SolidWorks. His clinical research experience includes collaborations with medical institution, such as Mayo Clinic and The CORE institute. Moreover, project involvement with the National Science Foundation (NSF), Biotechnology High Performance Computing Software Applications Institute (BHSAI), Google&EXO, and others. Seong has also contributed to community health through fall risk assessments at various Arizona senior centers. He aims to enhance the safety and rehabilitation outcomes for elderly individuals at risk of falling by leveraging his expertise in motion biomechanics. He is recognized for his contributions with SBHSE graduate merit and excellence awards, and he served as a reviewer for various journals such as Gait & Posture, Annals of Biomedical Engineering and Human Factors and Ergonomics Society. He published seven peer-reviewed journal, with two more in revision, and has presented at 27 conferences. The ultimate goal of his research is to enhance the safety and rehabilitation outcomes for elderly individuals who are prone to fall.
