[Appointment period: each for six to twenty four months, tenable
immediately]
The Hong
Kong Polytechnic University has established the Centre for Signal
Processing which targets to be a major research centre in the
area of Multimedia Signal Processing in South East Asia. Studies
of the Centre include DSP Algorithms, Fast Computational Techniques,
Data Compression, Transforms, DCT, Wavelets, Video, Speech and
Image Coding, Pattern Recognition, Intelligent Systems, Neural
Networks, Multimedia Communications, Medical Imaging, Information
Transfer and Storage, Document Processing, PDA applications,
TV and set top box, and web system design. The Centre now needs
to employ the captioned posts for the research and consultancy
topics in the above various areas, and in particular the projects
listed below. Suitable and qualified candidates who are able
to propose an MPhil/PhD research topic in consultation with
the project leader will be allowed to register for a research
degree in the University.
