Biography
Yuan F. Zheng received the MS and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State University, in Columbus, Ohio in 1980 and 1984, respectively. His undergraduate education was received at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China in 1970. From 1984 to 1989, he was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Clemson University, in Clemson, South Carolina. Since August 1989, he has been with The Ohio State University, where he is Winbigler Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. Professor Zheng was the Chairman of the Department between 1993 and 2004, and was elected to IEEE Fellow in 1997.
Research Interests
Professor Zheng's research interests are on the fundamental issues related to two aspects. One is in video, image, and signal processing based on wavelet transform. Current efforts focus on wavelet for waveform studies, compressive sensing, and human object tracking. The other is in robotics with current efforts on humanoid robots, mobile robots, and signals and robots related to biological applications (see recent publications below).
