Heejin Jeong

Heejin Jeong is an Assistant Professor at Arizona State University whose research focuses on human factors and human performance modeling, with an emphasis on understanding and improving human interaction with advanced technologies. Her work examines how immersive and extended reality systems, including virtual and mixed reality, can be used to model workload, situational awareness, ergonomic risk, and psychophysiological responses in complex operational environments. She has conducted research on integrating machine learning and large language models for multitasking workload prediction, as well as applying computational approaches to assess human motion, biomechanical efficiency, and occupational safety. Her research spans domains such as human-computer interaction, human-XR interaction, augmented cognition, and human-centered system design, with applications in industrial, aviation, and collaborative work settings. Her publications appear in venues including Human Factors and Ergonomics Society proceedings, Ergonomics, IEEE Transactions on Affective Computing, Computers & Graphics, and Computers in Human Behavior Reports, reflecting a strong focus on interdisciplinary human-centered research.
