** For PhD and Post-Doc opportunities in 2010 and 2011,
please contact me by email **

My current research includes multimedia signal processing, perceptual semantics and interactive media computing. In particular, I am interested in audiovisual content analysis and performance evaluation with application in advanced surveillance, semantic coding and multi-sensor systems.
