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 algorithms and software infrastructure for data-intensive computational intelligence and biomedical/healthcare informatics, with a particular focus on scientific domains including: (1) data-intensive analytics for pervasive healthcare monitoring to assist aging population and patients with chronic diseases; (2) scalable deep learning from extremely complex biomedical multimedia data; and (3) user-centered knowledge discovery and decision support from clinical data to evaluate and improve the quality of health care. 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 senior member of IEEE, member of ACM and Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE). |
