简介：
Tsuhan Chen has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, since October 1997, where he is currently Professor. He directs the Advanced Multimedia Processing Laboratory, striving to turn multimedia technologies from science fiction into reality. He also established and is the current director of the “ITRI Lab at CMU,” a collaborative research laboratory sponsored by Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). His research interests include multimedia signal processing and communication, implementation of multimedia systems, multimodal biometrics, audio-visual interaction, pattern recognition, computer vision and computer graphics, and bioinformatics. From August 1993 to October 1997, he worked in the Visual Communications Research Department, AT&T Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey, and later at AT&T Labs-Research, Red Bank, New Jersey, as a senior technical staff member and then a principle technical staff member.

Tsuhan helped create the Technical Committee on Multimedia Signal Processing, as the founding chair, and the Multimedia Signal Processing Workshop, both in the IEEE Signal Processing Society. His endeavor later evolved into founding of the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia and the IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo, both joining the efforts of multiple IEEE societies. He was appointed the Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Multimedia for 2002-2004.

Before serving as the Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, he also served in the Editorial Board of IEEE Signal Processing Magazine and as Associate Editor for IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Trans. on Image Processing, IEEE Trans. on Signal Processing, and IEEE Trans. on Multimedia. He has co-edited a book titled Advances in Multimedia: Systems, Standards, and Networks.

Tsuhan received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the National Taiwan University in 1987, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, California, in 1990 and 1993, respectively. He received the Charles Wilts Prize for outstanding independent research in Electrical Engineering leading to a Ph.D. degree at the California Institute of Technology. He has published more than a hundred of technical papers and holds fifteen U.S.patents. He was a recipient of the National Science Foundation CAREER Award, titled “Multimodal and Multimedia Signal Processing,” from 2000 to 2003.
