Se-Woong Park

Se-Woong Park, Ph.D., serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Kinesiology within the College for Health, Community and Policy at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). His academic work bridges motor neuroscience, biomechanics, and clinical applications for neurodevelopmental disorders.

His educational foundation includes:

• Ph.D. in Biology (Motor Neuroscience) from Northeastern University (2014)
• Master of Science in Cognitive Science from Seoul National University (2006)
• Bachelor of Science in Physics from Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (2004)

Research expertise spans:

• Upper limb motor control mechanisms
• Movement variability during skill acquisition
• Sensorimotor prediction deficits in autism spectrum disorder
• Biomechanical analysis of motor disorders
• Technology-enhanced rehabilitation approaches

His 2023-2025 publications reveal strong thematic focus on predictive motor processes across neurotypical development and clinical populations (autism, Parkinson's). Utilizing kinematic analysis, virtual reality, and EEG methodologies, his work consistently examines how prediction mechanisms underpin motor behavior, with growing emphasis on technology-mediated interventions for autism spectrum disorder.

Research funding includes:

• $4,998 grant (2022) on plantar desensitization in autistic children with gait abnormalities
• $5,000 grant (2019-2020) characterizing EEG changes during upper-limb skill acquisition

His conference presentations at Society for Neural Control of Movement, South Central American Society of Biomechanics, and IEEE GreenTech demonstrate active engagement with both fundamental motor control and applied disability research communities.
