Hyejeong Choi is a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of British Columbia, currently pursuing an exchange opportunity and seeking a host supervisor and research lab.
Hyejeong’s home supervisor is Dr. Peyman Servati, PhD, PEng a professor in the department of electrical and computer engineering and the director of the Flexible Electronics and Energy Lab (FEEL).
Hyejeong specializes in wearable sensor systems, computer vision, and human-computer interaction for musculoskeletal rehabilitation. Hyejeong’s current research merges piezoelectric nanofiber sensors and IMUs into a smart knee sleeve that monitors neuromuscular activity and joint kinematics in ACL-injured patients. Hyejeong has extensive experience in multimodal data fusion and Human Activity Recognition (HAR), leveraging machine learning to classify rehabilitation exercises and detect asymmetries. Additionally, she developed a motion capture-to-smartphone pipeline for markerless motion estimation, aiming to enable realistic, clinic-based data collection for remote patient monitoring.
Going forward, Hyejeong plans to integrate force plate and insole data into a telerehabilitation framework, providing real-time force feedback through biomechanical simulations. To achieve this, she is looking to gain expertise in OpenSim and Unity, and welcomes collaborations with labs focusing on computer vision, biomechanics, or rehabilitation engineering to advance accessible, patient-centered care.
