Top SchoolSunggeun Ahn is a Staff Software Engineer and HCI researcher with a decade of experience focused on making digital information accessible across mobile and wearable platforms. Holding an MSc and PhD in Computer Science from KAIST, he specializes in gaze-based interaction, leveraging eye-tracking as a contextual input to create more intuitive, wherever-and-whenever interfaces. Currently at Samsung Electronics after a research internship at Chatham Labs (acquired by Meta), he blends academic rigor with product-focused engineering to move experimental interaction techniques toward real-world deployments. His background in electronics, computer science, and psychology informs a multidisciplinary approach to human-centered system design.
