About
Seoyeon Ham is a rising researcher in rehabilitation robotics and soft actuation, whose work focuses on developing assistive technologies for individuals with mobility impairments. Her primary research areas include gait rehabilitation, soft robotics, and variable stiffness mechanisms. Ham's most notable contribution is the development of a prototype overground pelvic obliquity support robot, designed to aid hemiplegic patients by providing motion assistance and training during gait. Unlike conventional rehabilitation robots that concentrate on sagittal plane hip and knee movements, Ham's innovative system targets pelvic motion in the frontal plane, addressing a critical gap in rehabilitation technology. This work has garnered 6 citations, reflecting its emerging impact in the field. Additionally, Ham has contributed to the advancement of soft exoskeletons through the development of a soft variable stiffness actuator employing a tendon-driven layer jamming mechanism. This actuator allows for adjustable stiffness, enhancing safety and adaptability for patients with varying trauma and recovery stages. While early in her career, Ham's research demonstrates a clear commitment to creating safer, more effective rehabilitation solutions, with potential to significantly improve quality of life for individuals with neurological gait disorders.
