| Biography |
Junsong Yuan joined NTU as a Nanyang Assistant Professor in Aug. 2009. He is currently the program director of video analytics at the Infocomm Center of Excellence at School of EEE, NTU. He received Ph.D. from Northwestern University, USA and M.Eng. from National University of Singapore. Before that, he graduated from the special program for the gifted young in Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, P.R.China. Dr. Yuan’s research interests include computer vision, video analytics and mining, human computer interaction, biomedical image analysis, etc. Since Aug. 2009, he has been the PI or Joint-PI of over S$4.2M grants, sponsored by Singapore Ministry of Education (MoE), Media Development Authority (MDA), Infocomm Development Authority (IDA), National Research Foundation (NRF), Defence Science Organisation (DSO) National Labs, Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS), Microsoft Research Redmond, USA, and Nanyang Technological University.
Dr. Yuan has published actively in leading journals and international conferences in computer vision, image processing, multimedia, and data mining. He co-chairs workshops at IEEE Conf. Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR'12'13) and IEEE Conf. on Computer Vision (ICCV'13). He serves as association editor, area chair, special seesion chair, TPC member and reviewer of a number of international journals/conferences/workshops/special sessions. He gives tutorials of his recent work at a few conferences such as IEEE ICIP'13, FG'13, ICME'12, SIGGRAPH VRCAI'12, and PCM'12.
He received Nanyang Assistant Professorship and Tan Chin Tuan Exchange Fellowship from Nanyang Technological University, Outstanding EECS Ph.D. Thesis award from Northwestern University, Best Doctoral Spotlight Award from IEEE Conf. Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR'09), and National Outstanding Student from Ministry of Education, P.R.China. He has filed three US patents and two provisional US patents. |
