Bio:
Dr. Mei Chen is a Senior Scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh, focusing on medical image analysis, and large visual collection management and navigation. Prior to joining Intel Research in 2006, she was a Research Scientist at the Media Technologies Lab in Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 2001-2006. While working at HP Labs, she developed technologies for image communication under low bandwidth, video spatio-temporal resolution enhancement, legacy film restoration, dynamic range enhancement for digital photography, and incorporating cinematographic rules for automatic video editing. Her technologies have been transferred to five HP products that are on the market today. Before her career at HP Labs, she was a Member of Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation from 1999-2001, where she developed techniques for creating virtual views from real videos, and for stabilizing unintended motion in home video sequences. From 1996-1999, during her graduate study at Carnegie Mellon University, she designed a knowledge-guided 3-D deformable registration algorithm for medical images, which automatically extracted patterns of anatomical variations in the appearances of brain structures, and accurately registered brain MRIs using the statistics. Dr. Chen is the author or co-author of 19 peer-reviewed technical publications, and 14 pending U.S. patent applications. She holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. from the School of Computer Science in Carnegie Mellon University, and a B. S. and M. S. from Tsinghua University in Beijing, China.
