Brief Bio:
|
Dr. Yu Cao has been an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, College of Engineering and Computer Science, at The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) since August 2010. From 2007 to 2010, he was an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at California State University, Fresno. Prior to that, he was a Visiting Fellow of Biomedical Engineering at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minnesota. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science from Iowa State University in 2005 and 2007, respectively. He received the B.Eng. degree from Harbin Engineering University in 1997, the M.Eng. degree from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in 2000, all in Computer Science. His research interests span a variety of aspects of knowledge discover from complex data, which include the area of biomedical informatics and intelligent system. Particular focus on scientific applications including: intelligent, multi-modal, and data-intensive medical image analysis and retrieval; motion tracking, analyzing, and visualization; and intelligent data analysis for electronic medical records and pervasive healthcare monitoring. His research work has appeared in various prestigious journals, book chapters, and refereed conference proceedings. His research has been supported by both NSF and NIH. He was a guest editor of a special issue Springer Multimedia Tools and Applications (MTAP), and a special issue in Journal of Multimedia (JMM). He has served on Organizing Committees or Programming Committees of more than 10 international conferences and workshops. He is a member of ACM, IEEE, and Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE). |
