Jin Heo

About

I'm a PhD candidate at Georgia Tech and working with Ada Gavrilovska. I'm also co-advised with Alexey Tumanov. My academic trajectory was initially started after my early career of pro gamer, igniting my interest in the intersection of computer science and video game design/development. They significantly shapes my current research pursuits.

My research interest has been about edge/cloud computing for real-time and interactive multimedia applications, XR. I have been working on the research projects, developing technologies to enable streaming high-quality XR experiences and building scalable systems for adaptively serving perception and 3D rendering workloads.

Expected graduation: May 2025
