Insoo Kim, Ph.D. Assistant Professor Department of Medicine University of Connecticut School of Medicine Department of Biomedical Engineering College of Engineering University of Connecticut

​Research Summary

I specialize in employing mobile and wearable sensor technologies to address challenges in monitoring activity, occupational stress and resilience, personal health and well-being. My work aims to bridge the divide between clinical-grade instruments and emerging mobile health sensors, focusing on hardware, algorithmic, and signal processing enhancements. Specifically, my research concentrates on the engineering of wearable biosensors, bio-circuit systems, and therapeutic devices tailored for disease management and occupational medicine. I leverage my expertise in analog/mixed-signal circuit design and embedded programming to tackle complex issues related to capturing and processing physiological signals.
