个人简介
Zhibo Chen is now a full professor, Director of Intelligent Media Computing Lab (IMCL) in University of Science and Technology of China. He received the B.Sc., and Ph.D. degree from Department of Electrical Engineering Tsinghua University respectively, with outstanding Ph.D thesis award. He has worked in SONY and Thomson before joining USTC. He used to be Principal Scientist, Distinguished Member of Thomson Fellowship and Research Manager in Thomson Research & Innovation Division.
His research interests focus on investigating generative artificial intelligence technique for advanced visual signal representation, generation, coding and processing, as well as in other interdisciplinary research fields. He has over 200 journal and conference publications (e.g., IEEE TPAMI, TIP, TCSVT, CVPR, AAAI, ACM-MM, IJCAI, ICME, ISCAS, ICIP, etc.), over 60 granted US/EU patent applications, some of his standard proposals have been adopted in MPEG/VCEG on video coding and ITU-T P.1202 on video quality assessment. His contribution of UMH Fast ME algorithm has been adopted by H.264 standard reference model, largely cited and widely used in real applications. He has won the Best Paper Award of IEEE Trans. on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology 2025, the second prize of the National Natural Science Award, the first prize of the Anhui Provincial Science and Technology Progress Award, the first prize of the Natural Science Award of the Ministry of Education, the first prize of the Chinese Institute of Electronics Natural Science. He was listed in World's Top 2% Scientists (both career long and single recent year) by Stanford University.
He was Chair of Technical Committee of IEEE CASS Visual Signal Processing and Communications (VSPC) from 2022 to 2024, and he has served as TPC chair of Picture Coding Symposium 2019, member of Technical Committee of IEEE SP Image, Video, and Multidimensional Signal Processing (IVMSP TC), member of Technical Committee of IEEE CASS Multimedia Systems and Applications (MSA), member of Technical Committee of IEEE CASS Circuits and Systems Education and Outreach (CASEO), member of ISCAS Review Committee from 2007 to 2019, Track chair of ISCAS from 2020 to 2023. He is currently SAE (Senior Area Editor) Board member of IEEE Transaction on Circuit and System for Video Technology (TCSVT) and Associate Editor of TCSVT from 2020 to 2024, Guest Editor of IEEE JSAC/IEEE OJCAS/IEEE JETCAS, Organization Committee member/Area Chair of IEEE ICME, IEEE ICIP, IEEE VCIP and PCS, etc.
