Jong-Beom Jeong

I'm a Post-Doc at Electronics and Telecommunications Research Institute (ETRI) in Daejeon, South Korea. I work in the media coding research section, and our team focuses on compression and representation of Gaussian splatting.

I did my PhD at Sungkyunkwan University (SKKU), where I was advised by Prof. Eun-Seok Ryu. I participated in the standardization of ISO/IEC 23090-12 MPEG immersive video (MIV), and conducted research including 360-degree video streaming, tile-based viewport-adaptive streaming, neural radiance fields (NeRF), and 3D Gaussian splatting (3DGS).

My research focuses on photorealistic volumetric media representation. Specifically, I'm interested in media compression and streaming to achieve low-latency and high-quality media.
