Eunji Chong, PhD

I am working at Amazon as Applied Scientist.
I received my Ph.D. from the School of Interactive Computing at Georgia Tech in 2020, where I worked under the supervision of Professor James M. Rehg. During PhD, my research has focused on developing computer vision methods for measuring and interpreting visual attention in social contexts, in order to better model and understand human behavior.
