About

Dr. Jae-Yeop Nam is a rising researcher at the intersection of rehabilitation robotics, human-computer interaction, and assistive technology. His work focuses on developing and evaluating novel interfaces for upper extremity rehabilitation, particularly for stroke survivors with hemiplegia. In his most-cited paper, "Comparison of Reaching Motion in Mixed Reality Headset and End-effector-based Robotic Arm with Flat Panel Display" (2022, 5 citations), Dr. Nam investigates how different technologies—mixed reality headsets versus robotic arms with flat panel displays—affect reaching motions during therapy. This contribution is significant because it directly addresses the need for effective, home-based rehabilitation solutions that mirror daily living activities. By comparing these modalities, Dr. Nam provides critical insights into designing more engaging and functional exercise systems. Though early in his career, his work is already shaping discussions on how immersive technologies can enhance motor recovery. His research promises to bridge the gap between clinical rehabilitation and accessible home therapy, making him a notable emerging voice in neurorehabilitation engineering.
