Dr. Hwang has developed a nationally recognized, original clinical research portfolio centered upon two major neuroscience ICU themes: (1) the varying accuracy and thought processes of clinicians when predicting functional outcomes of patients with severe acute brain injury (SABI); and (2) the decision-making and psychosocial support of family members of SABI patients who lack capacity, particularly those families who are making difficult goals-of-care decisions. He has a strong track record of both leading and participating in successful multicenter collaborative research studies on these topics. To date, he has authored or co-authored more than 100 academic articles centered around these themes, more than 40 of which are original research publications. Over the past 10 years, he has personally delivered nearly 60 national and international invited lectures and web-based talks related to his research work and has been featured as a plenary speaker at the International Stroke Conference (ISC), the Neurocritical Care Society (NCS) Annual Meeting, and the International Neuropalliative Care Society (INPCS) Annual Meeting.
