In 1988, he won the First Prize in the Paper Contest for Students and Non-corporate Members organized by the Institute of Electronics and Radio Engineers of Hong Kong. In the same year, he also obtained a 3-year Postgraduate Fellowship from the Sir Edward Youde Memorial Council for his postgraduate studies in City University of Hong Kong. After he obtained the Ph.D. degree, he joined the Department of Electronic Engineering, City University of Hong Kong. He is currently an Associate Professor and Programme Leader of the Information Engineering Undergraduate Programme. He has published over 130 technical journal and conference papers with more than 1,400 citations. His four-step search (4SS) fast motion estimation algorithm paper is ranked among the top cited papers published in IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (CSVT). His current research interests are in the areas of image and video coding with emphasis on fast encoding algorithms, new motion compensated prediction techniques and 3D video processing. His most recent research interests also include touchscreen based Chinese input methods and mobile applications. <p> Dr. Po is currently the chairman of the IEEE Hong Kong Chapter of Signal Processing Chapter. He is a member of the Technical Committee on Multimedia Systems and Applications, IEEE Circuits and Systems Society and an Associate Editor of the HKIE Transactions. He also served on the organizing committees of the IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing in 2003, the IEEE International Conference on Image Processing in 2010, and other conferences. </font><p> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center"> <tr><td bgcolor="#F8A300" height="2"></td></tr> </table> <FONT FACE="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"><B><FONT SIZE=3> <ul> <li><A HREF="publications.html" target=_top>Recent Publications</A><P> <li><A HREF="publications/20051105_ME_Programs.zip" target=_top>Motion Estimation Research Development Package</A><P> <li><a href="http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~mirror/" target=_blank>MIRROR: MPEG-7 Image Retrieval Refinement based On Relevance feedback</a><P> <li><a href="http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~g6code" target=_blank>G6 Chinese Input Medthod</a><P> <li><a href="fyp/fyp2011.html" target=_top>Final Year Projects (2011)</a><P> <li><a href="ee5415/index.html" target=_top>EE5415: Mobile Applications Design and Development</a><P> <li><a href="ee4301/" target=_top>EE4301: Network and System Administration</a><P> <li><a href="ee4302/" target=_top>EE4302: Cryptography and Network Security</a><P> <li><a href="http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~ee4093/" target=_top>EE4093: IE Basic Training I: Linux Fundamentals</a><P> <li><a href="http://www.ee.cityu.edu.hk/~j2me/" target=_top>EE4096: IE Basic Training II: Mobile Game Design using JavaME</a><P> <li><A HREF="lenna/Lenna97.html" target=_top>Lenna 97: A Complete Story of Lenna</A><P> </ul> </b> <table width="100%" border="0" align="center"> <tr><td height="17" align="right"><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" color="#6666CC">Last Updated: 14 Jan 2011 </font></td></tr> <tr><td bgcolor="#F8A300" height="2"></td></tr> </table> </BODY> </HTML>
