Andrew T. Duchowski

Andrew T. Duchowski is a Professor and Chair of the Visual Computing Division at Clemson University's School of Computing (part of the College of Engineering and Science). He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from Texas A&M University (1997) and a B.Sc. in Computer Science from Simon Fraser University (1990). His academic roles include service as Focus Area Chair at SIGGRAPH 2019 and Co-organizer of multiple workshops such as MobileHCI 2018 and ETRA 2018.

His research focuses on eye tracking, visual perception, human-computer interaction, and computer graphics. Key areas include gaze analytics, virtual environments, and applications in healthcare, education, and cultural heritage. He has pioneered methodologies like the 'Gaze Analytics Pipeline' and authored Eye Tracking Methodology: Theory & Practice (Springer, 3rd ed., 2017).

R&D interests span cognitive load measurement via pupil dynamics, ambient/focal attention modeling, and gaze-based interaction design. His work bridges computer science with fields like spatial cognition and neuroergonomics. Recent projects include studies on attention in VR, neurocognitive biomarkers, and sustainable cultural landscape management.

Awarded multiple honors including the NSF CAREER Award (2000-2003) and Clemson's Faculty Excellence Award (2001), Duchowski has authored over 150 peer-reviewed papers. He led educational initiatives such as the 'Groovy Graphics Assignments' for SIGGRAPH and co-organized global conferences like ETRA and EuroGraphics. His service includes editorial roles in journals like Transactions on Applied Perception and reviewing for NIH, NSF, and international universities.
