Hsueh-Ming Hang received B.S. and M.S. degrees from National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1978 and 1980, respectively, and Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, in 1984.
From 1984 to 1991, he was with AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, NJ, where he was engaged in digital image compression algorithm and architecture researches. He joined the Electronics Engineering Department of National Chiao Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, in December 1991. He has been involved in the international video standards since 1984. He has been actively participating in the development of technologies for H.261/263 and MPEG-1/2/4/21 in the past 20 years. His current research interests include digital video compression, image/signal processing algorithm and architecture, and multimedia communication systems.
Dr. Hang holds 10 patents (ROC, US and Japan) and has published over 150 technical papers related to image compression, signal processing, and video codec architecture. He was a conference co-chair of the Symposium on Visual Communications and Image Processing (VCIP) in 1993, and the program chair in 1995. He was a co-program chair for the IEEE International Symposium on Consumer Electronics in 1998 and the IEEE Signal Processing Systems Workshop in 1999. He was a co-editor of Optical Engineering special issues on Visual Communications and Image Processing in July 1991 and July 1993, an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (1992-1994) and the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (1997-1999) and an area editor of Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation, Academic Press (1996-1998). He is a co-editor and contributor of Handbook of Visual Communications published by Academic Press in 1995.
He is a recipient of the IEEE Third Millennium Medal, the IEEE ISCE Outstanding Service Award and the Distinguished Engineering Professor Award (Chinese Institute of Engineers). He is a Fellow of IEEE and a member of Sigma Xi.
