Media Computing Research at MSRA
Wed, Jan 30, 2013 @ 01:30 PM - 02:30 PM
Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
Conferences, Lectures, & Seminars
Speaker: Dr. Shipeng Li, Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA)
Talk Title: Media Computing Research at MSRA
Abstract: In this talk, I will use examples of research projects at MSRA Media Computing and Internet Media groups to share some of my own thoughts on media computing, ranging from media compression, media processing, media communication and system, and how the multimedia technology would impact computing in a big way, with a focus on how they could transform user interaction, device collaboration and cloud computing to a complete new paradigm. I will also post some research challenges that we are facing in our research. I hope the talk will inspire new collaboration opportunities with professors and students at universities. The talk is complemented with a technical demo in the end.
Biography: Dr. Shipeng Li joined Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA) in May 1999. He is now a Principal Researcher and Research Manager of the Media Computing group. He also serves as the Research Area Manager coordinating the multimedia research activities at MSRA. His research interests include multimedia processing, analysis, coding, streaming, networking and communications; digital right management; advertisement; user intent mining; eHealth; etc. From Oct. 1996 to May 1999, Dr. Li was with Multimedia Technology Laboratory at Sarnoff Corporation as a Member of Technical Staff. Dr. Li has been actively involved in research and development in broad multimedia areas. He has authored and co-authored 6 books/book chapters and 250+ referred journal and conference papers. He holds 120+ granted US patents.
Dr. Li received his B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China in 1988 and 1991, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA in 1996. He was a faculty member in Department of Electronic Engineering and Information Science at University of Science and Technology of China in 1991-1992.
Dr. Li is a Fellow of IEEE. More information can be found at http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/people/spli/.

Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA)
Hiring Presentation
Microsoft Research is now one of the few industry labs in the world that are still conducting both fundamental research and technology transfers. Microsoft Research Asia is founded in Beijing as Microsoftââ¬â¢s fundamental research facility in the Asia Pacific region and expands rapidly. By attracting the best talents from Asia and across the globe, Microsoft Research Asia has grown into a world-class research laboratory with more than 230 researchers and developers and more than 250 visiting scientists and students. Today, the lab continues to conduct basic research in natural user interfaces, next-generation multimedia, data-intensive computing, search and online advertising, and computer science fundamentals.
Internet Media and Media Computing groups belong to the next generation multimedia area at MSRA. The groups focus research on media compression, media processing, media communication and systems. Since the past 10 years, these two research groups have produced 4 IEEE Fellows, three MIT TR35 recipients, and mentored hundreds of interns now working in universities and companies worldwide. In addition to hundreds of high quality papers, including more than 10 best award papers, the groups have contributed significantly to international standards, including, MPEG-4, H.264, H.264 SVC extension and now in HEVC, and also transfers dozens of new technologies into Microsoft products including screen codec in RDP, H.264 codec in Windows 7/8, Bing image and video search, etc.
Besides the top notch researchers we hired, the secret sauce of Microsoft Research Asia also attributes to an army of top graduate interns from local and international universities. Researchers conduct research full time on their favorite topics while mentoring interns, without having to worry about funding and teaching. The company is committed to sponsor researchers to conferences and workshops to exchange ideas and collaborate with other colleagues in academia.
While MSRA is hiring top talents in any computing disciplines, the Internet Media and Media Computing groups specifically seek for top talents (fresh or experienced) in the area of media compression, processing, communication, wireless, networking, cloud computing and system. Depending on the qualifications, positions can be offered from post-doc researchers, researchers, lead researchers, senior researchers to principal researchers. While Ph.D. in CS or EE is preferred, we are also looking hands-on innovators who are good at implementing a complex system.
If you are interested in this opportunity, please send your inquiry or CV to Dr. Shipeng Li: (spli@microsoft.com)
