Short Biography and CV

Dong Xu is currently an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. He received the B.Eng. and PhD degrees from University of Science and Technology of China, in 2001 and 2005, respectively. During his PhD study, he worked at Microsoft Research Asia and The Chinese University of Hong Kong for more than two years. He also worked at Columbia University for one year as a postdoctoral research scientist. His research focuses on new theories, algorithms and systems for intelligent processing and understanding of visual data such as images and videos.

He has published more than 60 papers in top venues including T-PAMI, T-IP, T-NN, T-CSVT, T-MM, T-SMC-B, CVPR, ICCV, ACM MM, ICML, MICCAI and IJCAI. He was the co-author (with his PhD student Lixin Duan) of a paper that won the Best Student Paper Award in the prestigious IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2010). His publications have been cited in Scopus more than 1000 times, and his H-Index in Scopus is 14. Since 2008, he has received over S$2.8M in research grant funding, from Singapore National Research Foundation (NRF), A*STAR, Ministry of Education (MOE), and Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). The PhD students Yi Huang and Lixin Duan in his research group were awarded the prestigious MSRA Fellowship Awards in 2008 and 2009, respectively.

He is an associate editor of Machine Vision and Applications Journal (Springer) and he is an editorial board member of Signal Processing Journal (Elsevier) and Journal of Multimedia (Academy). He is currently serving as an area chair of CVPR 2012 and a program co-chair of The Pacific-Rim Conference on Multimedia (PCM 2012) in Singapore. He has served as the guest editors of five special issues in T-CSVT, ACM TOMCCAP, CVIU, IEEE Multimedia, and PRL as well as the workshop co-chairs of The ACM SIGMM Workshop on Social Media and The ICME 2010 Workshop on Visual Content Identification and Search. Moreover, he has regularly served on the program committees of the major computer vision and multimedia conferences including ICCV, CVPR, ECCV, and ACM MM
