معرفی
Dr. Hyung Jin Chang is an Associate Professor at the School of Computer Science, University of Birmingham, and a Turing Fellow at the Alan Turing Institute. He holds a Ph.D. and B.S. from Seoul National University. His research focuses on human-centered visual learning, particularly in human-robot interaction, with expertise in computer vision, machine learning, and deep learning. He has been involved in organizing conferences like ECCV and ICCV workshops (e.g., VOTS Challenge, HANDS Workshop) and serves on program committees including AAAI and CVPR. His work spans areas like gaze estimation, domain adaptation, 3D pose estimation, and robotic perception for assistive technologies.
Key achievements include receiving the Royal Society Research Grant (2019–2020) and Wellcome Trust funding. Notable contributions include frameworks for unsupervised domain adaptation, gaze estimation models (e.g., RT-Gene), and collaborative learning methods for hand-object reconstruction. He has led projects in medical robotics, personalized dressing assistance, and safety-critical systems like driver attention prediction.
His 15 most recent articles (2024–2025) emphasize advancements in diffusion models, domain adaptation, 3D reconstruction, gaze-controllable systems, and generative AI for motion and interaction modeling. These reflect a trend toward integrating multimodal data (vision + language) and bridging theoretical foundations with applied robotics.
