Dr. LaVonda Brown is the Co-Founder and CEO of Eyegage, Inc. and she began studying eye behavior in 2012 as a portion of her PhD research.
During her PhD, she discovered that eye gaze can be used to determine engagement levels while learning. In addition to engagement, the human eye holds rich data about the mental state of a human being.
Dr. Brown later joined Emory University in 2016 to analyze eye tracking as a biomarker for early onset Alzheimer’s Disease.
Dr. Brown completed her BS in Electronics Engineering at Norfolk State University in 2010 and MS and PhD in Electrical Engineering at Georgia Tech in 2012 and 2015, respectively. Dr. Brown received her MBA with concentrations in Entrepreneurship and Technical Product Management at Georgia Tech in 2020.
