Biography
Jack Yiu-Bun LEE received his B.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 1993 and 1997, respectively. He is currently Associate Professor at the Department of Information Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research group focuses on challenges in multimedia communications systems, mobile communications, protocols, and applications. Jack has been awarded as PI over HK$20M in project funding from UGC, RGC, ITC, as well as industry partners. He was a research track coordinator in the UGC Area-of-Excellence in Information Technology, responsible for the coordination of focused research activities across the three participating universities. He led the establishment of the first gigabit inter-university network testbed in Hong Kong, with industry sponsorship worth over HK$10M, to enable researchers in Hong Kong to conduct leading edge research and experiments in a high-speed network environment. He is also a Co-I of the new UGC Area of Excellence project called the Institute of Network Coding. In applied R&D Jack has successfully completed two ITF projects, one in Internet multimedia and one in IP multicast. He and his team were instrumental to accelerating the adoption of IP multicast in Hong Kong, and in particular, facilitated one of the first IPTV deployment in Hong Kong using IP multicast technologies. He is currently managing two on-going ITF Tier-3 projects, both with strong support from the industry. Jack’s recent R&D projects under CUHK’s Mobile Technologies Centre have also been highly successful. His work in real-time media transcoding has produced the world’s first real-time transcoding solution for mobile 3G networks. A Hong Kong mobile operator subsequently licensed and deployed the technology as a commercial service in Hong Kong and Macau with over one million users. Jack’s work has generated 14 granted and pending US patents. For his R&D work in mobile multimedia technologies Jack was awarded the HKCS Outstanding IT Achiever Awards in IT Research in 2008.
