Biography

Sai-Kit Yeung received his Ph.D. degree in Electronic and Computer Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) in 2009. Before that, he received his B.Eng. degree (First Class Honors) in Computer Engineering and M.Phil. degree in Bioengineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2003 and 2005 respectively. He was a visiting student at Image Sciences Institute, University Medical Center Utrecht, Utrecht, The Netherlands in 2007 summer and the Image Processing Research Group at UCLA during 2008 spring and summer. He is currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Department of Mathematics at UCLA, working with Prof. Stanley Osher and Prof. Tony Chan. His research interests include computer vision, computer graphics, computational photography, image/video processing, and medical imaging.

Starting in Oct 2011, Sai-Kit Yeung will be an Assistant Professor at the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD).
