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 16 patents (ROC, US and Japan) and has published over 160 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 an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing
(1992-1994), the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology
(1997-1999), and currently an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on
Image Processing again. He is co-editor and contributor of the Handbook of
Visual Communications published by Academic Press.
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.
