Dr Chris Lee of National Cheng Kung University

Cancer is among the most important issues of healthcare worldwide. However, under current medical systems, diagnosis of these severe diseases is commonly delayed, especially in remote locations with limited medical resources.
Hence it is necessary to facilitate point-of-care early screening at these distant care units using Computer-Aided-Diagnostic (CAD) tools possessing tertiary centers’ experiences accumulated through AI.
This talk will also introduce the speaker’s reconfigurable edge system for the detection of Skin Cancer on mobile devices with more than 95% accuracy

Biography:

Chris Gwo Giun Lee (S’91–M’97–SM’07) is an investigator in signal processing systems for multimedia and bioinformatics. His work on analytics of algorithm concurrently with architecture, Algorithm/Architecture Co-Design (AAC), has made possible accurate and efficient computations on SoC, cloud and edge. His work have contributed to 130+ original research and technical publications with invention of 50+ patents globally.  His AAC work resulted in industry deployment of 60+ million LCD panels worldwide.  Two patents were licensed by US health industry for development of analytics platform based precision medicine products (Boston, MA, June 1, 2015, GLOBE NEWSWIRE).  This AAC work has been pivotal in delivering international standards, e.g. and Reconfigurable Video Coding 3D extension of HEVC in MPEG.   Chris was system architect in Philips Semiconductor and also project leader in the Silicon Valley.  He was recruited to NCKU in 2003. He received his BSEE from National Taiwan University, MSEE and PH.DEE from the University of Massachusetts. Chris serves as the AE for IEEE TSP and JSPS. He was formerly the AE for IEEE TCSVT for which he received the Best Associate Editor’s Award in 2011. He also serves as the IEEE CASS Distinguished Lecturer from 2019 ~ 2020.
