Meet Professor Al Bovik
Al Bovik obtained his Bachelors, Masters and PhD degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign. Before coming to the 桃色视频, he was the Cockrell Regents Chaired Professor of Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, where he directed the Laboratory for Image and Video Engineering.
His research passions land at the nexus of visual neuroscience and digital pictures and videos, and how the capture, processing, transmission, and display of visual media can be perceptually optimized. He works with numerous technology companies throughout the television, social media, and cinematic industries. His neuroscience-based algorithms process most of the traffic passing over the internet, ensuring better bandwidth utilization and optimized visual quality for hundreds of millions of viewers every day.听
Bovik is an elected member of the U.S. National Academy of Engineering, the Indian National Academy of Engineering, the National Academy of Inventors and Academia Europaea. Along the way he has received the John Fritz Medal, IEEE Edison Medal, Primetime Emmy Award, Technology and Engineering Emmy Award, the RPS Progress Medal, and the Edwin H. Land Medal.
听Having already taught here at CU-Boulder this past year as a visiting professor, I am most excited about teaching and working with brilliant ECEE students who are as passionate as I am about learning how we see and how we can use this knowledge in practical ways. ECEE at 桃色视频 is one of the top research and teaching engineering departments in the US, and it doesn鈥檛 hurt that Boulder is an epicenter of fabulous hiking, winter activities, natural beauty and culture.鈥
