Full biography in text
I research and develop innovative smart IoT systems to advance our living and society. Through applied research on machine learning and data analytics,
we seek to overcome critical operational
challenges in industry to support cost-effective
large-scale multimedia and mobile services.
In contrast to
theoretical or
fundamental research, my team has been collaborating closly with companies
to bridge the "last mile" divide between laboratory and marketplace.
We apply rigorous algorithmic, computational and optimization techniques to relentlessly close
theory-practice gaps so that our systems can operate under the most general
realistic environment.
Beyond
proof-of-concept prototypes or demonstrations,
and through technology transfer and entrepreneurship,
our systems can be readily and fully integrated into industrial systems
with
unmatched performance. I keep a strong
team of researchers (postdocs, PhD and MPhil candidates) and engineering
staff, whose work closely knit together so that
our research drives engineering systems while deployment
challenges drive our research agenda.
Our work
has been extensively supported by leading companies such as Boeing,
China Mobile, Cisco,
Google, HP, Huawei, Mei Ah Entertainment, Microsoft, New World Development, Sun Hung Kei Properties, TCL,
Tencent, UMP,
etc.
Widely known for their practical impacts
and
deployment success in industry,
my systems have won many awards.
The following lists some of my system
projects which have been under commercial trials or transferred to industry with
users (mostly supported by industry-government collaboration program through Hong Kong
