Biography

Dong Wei was born in Beijing, China, in May, 1968. He received the B.Eng. degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in July, 1992, and the M.Sci. degree from Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Rice University, Houston, Texas, in May, 1995. Since 1995 he has been working towards the Ph.D. degree under the instruction of Dr. Alan C. Bovik, at Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of Texas at Austin.

During 1992-1993, Dong Wei was with Tsinghua University as a software engineer working on image data compression and computer graphics. During 1993-1995, he was a Research Assistant with Digital Signal Processing Group led by Dr. C. Sidney Burrus and Computational Mathematics Laboratory led by Dr. Raymond O. Wells, Jr. at Rice University. During 1995-1996, he held a part-time research fellowship at Schlumberger Austin Research, Austin, Texas. Since 1995 he has been a Research Assistant with Laboratory for Vision Systems, The University of Texas at Austin. His research interests include digital signal, image, and video processing, wavelet theory, and data compression. He is a student member of IEEE, and a reviewer for IEEE Transactions on Image Processing.
