Jeong Ho Kim

Jeong Ho Kim is an Associate Professor at Texas A&M University, affiliated with the College of Engineering and the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering. His research and teaching focus on occupational ergonomics, biomechanics, musculoskeletal disorders, and human vibration.

• PhD, University of Washington (2012) - Industrial and Systems Engineering (Emphasis in Ergonomics and Biomechanics)
• MS, University of Wisconsin-Madison (2007) - Industrial and Systems Engineering (Emphasis in Applied Statistics)
• BS, Dankook University (2003) - Industrial and Systems Engineering

His research explores ergonomic interventions to reduce musculoskeletal injuries in industries like commercial fishing, forestry, mining, and healthcare. Key areas include exoskeletons, vibration exposure, and non-invasive workload assessment tools. He evaluates biomechanical and cognitive loads in dynamic environments using technologies such as IMUs and motion capture systems.

Recent work highlights the efficacy of passive back-support exoskeletons, optimal sorting table heights for crab harvesting, and smartphone-based motion capture systems. These studies address postural stability, muscle activity, and task performance across high-risk occupations.
