Since
August 2011, A/Prof Zhang has joined Advanced Analytics Institute (AAI), Faculty of Engineering and
Information Technology (FEIT) at University of Technology (UTS), Sydney. http://uts.edu.au/~jzhang.
He still hold the Adjunct Associate
Professor position in School of Computer Science and Engineering University
of New South Wales (UNSW) Jian Zhang was
a Conjoint Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and
Engineering at the University of New South Wales. Dr Zhang earned his
Bachelor of Science in Electronic Engineering from East Normal University,
China in 1982; a Masters of Science in Computer Science from Flinders
University, South Australia in 1994; and a PhD from School of Information
Technology and Electrical Engineering, UNSW@ADFA, Australian
Defence Force Academy, at the University of New South Wales in 1999. From
January 2004 – July 2011, Dr Zhang was a Principal Researcher with
National ICT Australia (NICTA), where he is a
research leader of Multimedia and Video Communications Research at NICTA
Sydney Lab in UNSW Kensington campus. He leads three NICTA research projects
in the areas of computer vision, multimedia content analysis and management,
and multimedia content indexing and query. His research interests include
multimedia content management; video understanding; and video coding and
communication. Multimedia content management provides advanced algorithms to
manage, index search, and retrieve rich multimedia content. Video
understanding is concerned with the automatic or semi-automatic extraction of
semantic information from video sequences. Video coding and communication
provides an efficient method for video compression and robust transmission.
Apart from more than 90 paper publications and book chapters from his
research output, he was co-author of more than ten patents filed in US, UK,
Japan and Australia including five issued US patents. In 1997, Dr.
Zhang joined the Visual Information Processing Lab, Motorola Labs in Sydney
as a senior research engineer and later became a principal research engineer
and foundation manager of Visual Communications Research Team, Motorola Labs
in Sydney, Australia. While at Motorola labs, he worked on a range of
research projects including image processing, video coding and communication,
image segmentation and multimedia content adaptation. Dr. Zhang is an IEEE Senior Member. He is the member of Multimedia
Signal Processing Technical Committee in Signal Processing Society, member of
Circuits and Systems Society. Dr. Zhang was
Technical Program Chair, 2008 IEEE Multimedia Signal Processing Workshop;
Associated Editor, IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video
Technology (T-CSVT) and Associated Editor, EURASIP Journal on Image
and Video Processing. Dr Zhang was Guest Editor of T-CSVT for Video
Technology for Special Issue (March 2007) of the Convergence of Knowledge
Engineering Semantics and Signal Processing in Audiovisual
Information Retrieval. |
As a General Co-Chair, Prof.
Jian Zhang will host the International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME 2012)
in Melbourne Australia 2012
