Biography

Dr. Tieyong Zeng is a Professor at the Department of Mathematics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK). Together with colleagues, he has founded the Center for Mathematical Artificial Intelligence (CMAI) since 2020 and served as the director of CMAI. He received the B.S. degree from Peking University, Beijing, China, the M.S. degree from Ecole Polytechnique, Palaiseau, France, and the Ph.D. degree from the University of Paris XIII, Paris, France, in 2000, 2004, and 2007, respectively. His research interests include image processing, optimization, artificial intelligence, scientific computing, computer vision, machine learning, and inverse problems. He has published around 100 papers in the prestigious journals such as SIAM Journal on Imaging Sciences, SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing, Journal of Scientific Computing, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV), IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems (TNNLS), IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP), IEEE Medical Imaging (TMI), and Pattern Recognition. He is laureate of the 2021 Hong Kong Mathematical Society (HKMS) Young Scholars Award, due to the significant contributions in mathematical imaging and data science.
