Junggi Hong, Ph.D., ATC

My research interest is to better understand the underlying neural mechanisms of motor performance in athletes, elderly people and a variety of clinical populations, and their adaptability in training, injury prevention and rehabilitation.

Education

  • 2008 Ph.D. Oregon State University
  • 1999 M.S. Korean National Sports University
  • 1994 B.S. Korean National Sports University

Courses

Professor Hong is the instructor of record for the Care and Prevention of Athletic Injuries (EXSCI 340), Advanced Injury Management (EXSCI 445), and Human Anatomy (BIOL 246) courses. He also contributes to the Neuroscience of Human Motion course (EXSCI 440) and Senior Seminar  (EXSCI 496).
