    Faculty Research & Development

    Research

    Facilitating an environment to cultivate and support an increased climate of faculty research remains an essential goal of the College of Health Sciences & Professions. Current initiatives aim to bolster existing interests, promote innovation and collaboration, and reward and fund significant contributions, products, and publications.

    Dr. Eunse Park serves as the Director of the CHSP Research Committee. Dr. Park has trained as a Physical Therapist through his undergraduate studies in South Korea. After one year of practice in a PT clinic, he moved to the US for a Ph.D. with a concentration in motor control and learning in the Biomechanics and Movement Science program from the Department of Physical Therapy at the University of Delaware. Dr. Park attended the Georgia Institute of Technology for his post-doctoral training in the Comparative Neuromechanics Lab and participated in research related to amputee population’s gait and cycling. Dr. Park brings a wealth of knowledge from a global perspective to the position of Director of CHSP Research from an extensive and exemplary academic and research career with many noted publications, presentations, and continued research partnerships within academia.

    Currently, Dr. Eunse Park has partnered with fellows from South Korea and the University of Maryland on the research of the interim coordination for gait; how open movement can affect the lower limb gait in the neurologic patient. As well as another project on posture controls studies; how each individual joint stabilizes the upright posture with postural changes.

    A major goal for Dr. Park as the Director of Research is to foster a community of interprofessional research. To build up communication between the departments, not just in the College of Health Science but throughout the UNG community. With hopes of building an environment of communication and collaboration for research and innovation.

    The College of Health Sciences Research Committee will host the CHSP Research Symposium in Spring 2024. The annual event will be held each spring; featuring posters, oral presentations, panels, performances, and other creative inquiries from all disciplines. The Symposium is open to both graduate and undergraduate scholars.

    Projected for mid-year 2023, the CHSP will unveil its updated online scholarly journal, the Interprofessional Journal of Healthcare & Research. The goal of this peer-reviewed journal is to highlight collaborative and innovative research across health professions that support high-impact educational and research practices that promote health and wellness.

    Dr. Park and the CHSP Research Committee will continue to foster and grow the Emerging Scholars program of CHSP, begun by Dr. Carolynn DeSandre and Dr. Robert Powers in 2020. This program provides a scholarly mentoring program for a junior faculty member in each of the four departments in the CHSP for one year. Senior faculty volunteer to serve as mentors and work collaboratively with junior faculty with a goal over the year of acquiring outside grants and scholarships to support junior faculty research initiatives.
