Bio:
Gene Cheung received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Cornell University in 1995, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1998 and 2000, respectively.

He was a senior researcher in Hewlett-Packard Laboratories Japan, Tokyo, from 2000 till 2009. He is now an associate professor in National Institute of Informatics in Tokyo, Japan.

His research interests include 3D visual representation and immersive communication. He has published over 120 international conference and journal publications. He has served as associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Multimedia from 2007 to 2011 and currently serves as associate editor for DSP Applications Column in IEEE Signal Processing Magazine and APSIPA journal on signal & information processing, and as area editor for EURASIP Signal Processing: Image Communication. He currently serves as member of the Multimedia Signal Processing Technical Committee (MMSP-TC) in IEEE Signal Processing Society (2012-2014). He has also served as area chair in IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) 2010, 2012-2013, technical program co-chair of International Packet Video Workshop (PV) 2010, track co-chair for Multimedia Signal Processing track in IEEE International Conference on Multimedia and Expo (ICME) 2011, symposium co-chair for CSSMA Symposium in IEEE GLOBECOM 2012, and area chair for ICME 2013. He was invited as plenary speaker for IEEE International Workshop on Multimedia Signal Processing (MMSP) 2013 on the topic "3D visual communication: media representation, transport and rendering''. He is a co-author of best student paper award in IEEE Workshop on Streaming and Media Communications 2011 (in conjunction with ICME 2011), best paper finalists in ICME 2011 and ICIP 2011, best paper runner-up award in ICME 2012, and best student paper award in ICIP 2013.
