Class Honors) from the University of Sydney, Australia, in 1998, and Ph.D.
degree from the same university in 2002. Since then, he has been a faculty
member in Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. His main research
interests are image/video processing, media content analysis, computer vision
and computational intelligence. As the Group Leader in Content-Based Analysis
in the Center for Signal Processing, NTU, he has worked on projects
encompassing image/video content analysis and understanding, media indexing and
retrieval, and image processing and computer vision. He has more than 60
articles in various international peer-reviewed journals, conference
proceedings and book chapters. He has also co-authored a book entitled
“Adaptive Image Processing: A Computational Intelligence Perspective, Second
Edition” to be published by CRC Press in 2009, and co-edited a book entitled
“Intelligent Multimedia Processing with Soft Computing” published by
Springer-Verlag in 2005.
Dr. Yap has successfully
applied for and received funding from different agencies in recent years. These
include A*STAR, Science and Engineering Research Council, DSO National
Laboratories Singapore, and Academic Research Fund (AcRF), NTU. He had been
