Short biography:

 

Edson Mintsu Hung received the Eng., M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees from the Dept. of Electrical Enginnering at Universidade de Brasilia (UnB), Brazil, in 2004, 2007 and 2012, respectively. From 2004 to 2007 he was with Research and Development Center for the Security of Communication (CEPESC) of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (ABIN). Mintsu was also CTO of Mux Tecnologia from 2007 to 2016, a spin-off company that he co-founded. In 2010, he joined the Faculty of Electronic Engineering at Universidade de Brasilia in a new campus at Gama. Between 2014 and 2015 he coordinated the Electronic Engineering group. Since 2015 he is with the Department of Electrical Engineering in the main Campus. He participates in the Post-Graduate Program in Electrical Engineering (PPGEE). He was the precursor of the wedge partition, a technique that was standardized on the Alliance for Open Media's AV1 codec, which is led by Google and other technology companies. He obtained a scholarship in technological development from CNPq between 2014 and 2017. In 2016 he received the Google Research Award and an Award for dedicated leadership and support of the activities of the SPS Centro-Norte Brasil Chapter from the IEEE Signal Processing Society. His work at UnB has been or is being funded by agencies such as CNPq, CAPES, FAP-DF and companies such as Hewllet-Packard, Eletronorte, Leucotron, Toledo do Brasil, Google, Petrobrás or Samsung. He has experience in Signal Processing and Electronics, working mainly on the following topics: image compression, video compression, image processing, embedded systems and project development. He is a member of IEEE and Brazilian Telecommunications Society as well. Since 2018 is member of Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG) and Motion Picture Experts Group (MPEG) from International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and International Telecommunication Union (ITU). He is also member of the Focus Group sobre Artificial Intelligence for Health (AI4H) of the World Health Organization (WHO) since February 2020.
