Wei Hong

Biography

I am a Researcher in the Mobile and Immersive Experience Lab at HP Labs, Palo Alto, CA. Before joining HP Labs, I was a Member of Technical Staff in the Video and Image Processing Lab at the Systems and Applications R&D center, Texas Instruments, Dallas, TX, from 2006 to 2011. I received M.S. degree and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, in 2003 and 2006 respectively.

Research interests
