Biography
Yongjie Li
University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China
Yongjie Li is currently a professor with the School of Life Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China (UESTC). He was a visiting scholar at Dept of Neuroscience, Columbia University during Sept, 2009 ~ Sept, 2010. He is a principal investigator of 4 research projects sponsored by NSFC of China and 973 Projects. Before joining UESTC, He received his Ph.D. Degree in biomedical engineering from UESTC, Chengdu, China, in June 2004.
His current research interest focuses on the modeling of the information processing mechanisms of biological vision and its applications in computer vision (e.g., image/video processing). He has so far published more than 60 international journal papers (e.g., Neuroimage, IEEE Trans PAMI, IEEE Trans IP, IEEE Trans BME), conference papers (e.g., ICCV/CVPR/ECCV, including 1 ICCV oral paper) and book chapters, covering such topics as modeling of light/dark adaptation, non-classical receptive fields, color constancy, selective attention, etc., and their applications in image enhancement, denosing, dehazing, high-dynamic range image rendering, color correction, contour detection, image segmentation, saliency detection, etc. He holds 19 Chinese patents (13 granted, 6 pending).
He has served as OC or TPC member of BICS'2016 (8th International Conference on Brain-Inspired Cognitive Systems), ISNN'2015, ISNN'2016 (International Symposium on Neural Networks), ChinaSIP'2015 (IEEE China Summit and International Conference on Signal and Information Processing), etc, and session chairs at several international conferences such as IEEE CNCI (2008), IEEE CIS (2008), International Summit on Brain function and Brain Imaging (2011), and the co-chair of 2013 International Workshop on Visual Neural Mechanisms and Image Processing, etc. He is now an IEEE Member.
