About

Kee Hoon Kim is a leading researcher in rehabilitation robotics and assistive technologies, with a focus on stroke recovery and human-machine interaction. His work bridges the gap between engineering innovation and clinical application, particularly in the development of robotic systems for upper limb rehabilitation. In his highly cited 2016 study on flexible piezoelectric energy harvesting, Kim demonstrated the feasibility of harvesting energy from mouse click motions using robotic and human fingers, achieving 54 citations and opening new possibilities for self-powered wearable devices. His 2019 investigation into predictors of functional and motor outcomes following robot-assisted therapy after stroke (17 citations) has been instrumental in identifying patient stratification criteria, helping clinicians tailor rehabilitation protocols for better recovery. Kim's contributions are notable for their interdisciplinary approach, combining biomechanics, materials science, and clinical neuroscience. His work not only advances robotic therapy but also addresses practical challenges in energy autonomy for assistive devices, making him a key figure in the evolving field of neurorehabilitation engineering.
