Myounghoon ``Philart'' Jeon

is a PhD candidate at the Georgia Institute of Technology and will start to work at Michigan Tech as an assistant professor from this Fall. His dissertation focuses on the design of adaptive emotion regulation interfaces for drivers using auditory displays. His research areas encompass such diverse fields as auditory display, affective computing, assistive technology, and automotive interface design. His research has yielded around 60 publications across various journals and proceedings. Before attending Georgia Tech, he worked at LG Electronics Design Center and was responsible for all of their automotive user interface and sound designs. In addition, he has been involved in many other industry projects in collaboration with Panasonic Automotive, Toyota, and Hyundai-Kia Motors (to name a few). In recognition of his work, he has won several awards including the Best Student Paper at HFES, the IF Communication Design Award, and the Korean Ergonomic Design Award.

Pierre Chalfoun

is a PhD candidate at the HERON Laboratory in the University of Montreal. His research interests are primarily on emotional intelligence, unconscious cognition and physiological assessments of subliminal perception in intelligent tutoring systems. He has put forth a novel subliminal teaching technique and has published it in recent journals, book chapters and HCI conferences. His recent publications have shown the positive emotional and cerebral impacts of this technique on reasoning skills in problem solving environments.
