Resume of Career   (轉看 中文版)

Wai-kuen Cham graduated from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1979 in Electronics. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from Loughborough University of Technology, U.K., in 1980 and 1983 respectively. His research work was on image coding and in close collaboration with British Telecom. From June 1984 to April 1985, he was a senior engineer in Datacraft Hong Kong Limited and a lecturer in the Department of Electronic Engineering, Hong Kong Polytechnic (now The Polytechnic University of Hong Kong). Since May 1985, he has been with the Department of Electronic Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

Prof. Cham's research interests are image and video signal processing. He has published over hundred papers in international journals and proceedings of major conferences and is the inventor of a number of patents.  Prof. Cham has acted as a consultant to a number of government and industrial organizations, such as the Hong Kong Consumer Council, Grace Everett Ltd, COMedia HK Ltd and Jet Propulsion Laboratory, NASA.  He is the inventor of the Integer Cosine Transform which was used in the NASA Galileo space mission and is adopted in the international video coding standard H.264/AVC, VC-1 and the national standard of China AVS (Audio Video Coding Standard). Prof. Cham is a Chartered Engineer, a senior member of IEEE and was an associate editor of IEEE Trans. Image Processing from 2010 to 2014.
