Hello!

Eunjeong Koh

I am a Ph.D. Candidate at UC San Diego, working on machine learning, affective computing, and interactive multimedia system, advised by Prof. Shlomo Dubnov.
During my Ph.D., I have been very fortunate to intern at Smule (San Francisco CA), Gracenote (Emeryville CA), Qualcomm Technologies (San Diego CA), and Adobe Research (Seattle WA).

Before my Ph.D. study, I was a software engineer at Samsung Electronics, working on an automatic text reply system on Samsung smartwatch and question-answering system on Samsung smart TV, advised by Dr. Jihie Kim.
I got my master’s degree from Seoul National University, working on music information retrieval, advised by Prof. Kyogu Lee, and my bachelor’s degree from Ewha Womans University, working on Human-Computer Interaction research, advised by Prof. Yanghee Nam.
