Biography

Dr. Wen-Hsiao Peng (M'09-SM’13) received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (formerly NCTU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 1997, 1999, and 2005, respectively, all in electronics engineering.

He was with the Intel Microprocessor Research Laboratory, Santa Clara, CA, USA, from 2000 to 2001, where he was involved in the development of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG)-4 fine granularity scalability and demonstrated its application in 3-D peer-to-peer video conferencing. Since 2003, he has actively participated in the ISO/IEC MPEG digital video coding standardization process and contributed to the development of H.264/AVC Scalable Amendment, H.265/HEVC, H.265/HEVC Screen Content Coding Extensions (SCC), H.266/VVC, and JPEG AI. His research group at NCTU is one of the few university teams around the world that participated in the Call-for-Proposals on H.265/HEVC and its SCC extensions. He hold 15+ US/TW patents related to these standards. He is affiliated with MediaTek and ITRI in the ISO/IEC & ITU-T standards committee. Prof. Peng is currently Professor with the Computer Science Department, National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU). He was a Visiting Scholar with the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center, Yorktown Heights, NY, USA, from 2015 to 2016. He has authored over 100+ technical papers in the field of video/image processing and communications and over 60 standards contributions. His research interests include neural network-based image/video coding, ISO/IEC & ITU-T video coding standards, visual signal processing , computer vision, etc. 

Dr. Peng is Past Chair of the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society (CASS) Visual Signal Processing and Communications (VSPC) Technical Committee. During his term, VSPC Technical Committee received the IEEE CASS Outstanding Technical Committee Recognition in 2021. He is a voting member of the IEEE CASS Standard Activities Sub Division (SASD), and the CASS Representative for the Signal Processing Society. He was Technical Program Co-chair for 2024 PCS, 2023 APSIPA ASC, 2021 IEEE VCIP, 2011 IEEE VCIP, 2017 IEEE ISPACS, and 2018 APSIPA ASC; Publication Chair for 2019 IEEE ICIP; Area Chair/Session Chair/Tutorial Speaker for IEEE ICME and VCIP; and Track Chair/Session Chair/Review Committee Member for IEEE ISCAS. He served as AEiC for Digital Communications/Lead Guest Editor/Guest Editor/SEB Member for IEEE JETCAS, Associate Editor/Special Session Organizer for IEEE TCSVT, and Guest Editor for IEEE TCAS-II. He was Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE CASS (2022-2023) and APSIPA (2017-2018). He was appointed Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) for 2024-2025.
