Dr. Sungchul Jung’s research interests lie in the field of virtual/augmented reality (VR/AR) and empathic computing. Through a human-centered approach to cognitive-affective processes, his research seeks to characterize how emotion, cognition, and perception interact in immersive environments using virtual agents, spatial attributes, multisensory feedback, and advanced user experiences. Building on this, he leverages personalized VR/AR experiences for applications in education and learning, collaboration, simulation, and tele-healthcare.
