My research focuses on multimedia communications and image/video processing. The overall goal of my research is to find schemes to improve digital media (e.g., image, audio, video) communication across different types of networks. In particular, my research focuses on pre-processing, source coding (compression), quality assessment and post-processing of digital media. Thanks to the rapid growth of technology in the past two decades and popularization of digital devices, multimedia has become an inseparable part of our daily lives. People can access digital media via different devices ranging from televisions and computers to mobile devices. The applications of multimedia communications include: entertainment (TV, cinema), education, biomedicine and education to name a few.
