Institute of Robotics & Autonomy Seminar: Sensitivity of Cerebellar Reaching Ataxia to Kinematic and Dynamic Demands

Please join us for a talk from Kyunggeune Oh, Ph.D., from UTulsa’s Institute of Robotics & Autonomy about “Sensitivity of Cerebellar Reaching Ataxia to Kinematic and Dynamic Demands” presented by the Mechanical Engineering Department in the College of Engineering & Computer Science.

Kyunggeune (Ted) Oh, Ph.D., joined The University of Tulsa in February 2025 after completing his postdoctoral fellowship at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and the Kennedy Krieger Institute. His research focuses on kinematic and dynamic analyses of multi-joint coordination and motor control in neurological disorders including cerebellar ataxia and stroke. He applies motion capture systems, robotic platforms, and virtual reality to study biomechanics and position sense. With expertise in rehabilitation robotics and computational modeling of human arm dynamics, he has led research on cerebellar ataxia and motor control. Prior to his academic career, he worked as a research scientist at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST), where he developed rehabilitation robotics and robotic instruments for neurosurgery. Oh holds a Ph.D. in biological sciences (applied physiology, neuroscience minor) from Georgia Tech and an M.S./B.S. in mechanical and aerospace engineering from Seoul National University in South Korea.
