  • Biography

    Minh N. Do is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois and a part-time faculty member in the Image Formation and Processing group at the Beckman Institute. He received his Doctor of Science degree in Communication Systems from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, Switzerland, in 2001. His research interests include signal and image processing, wavelet theory and applications, computational harmonic analysis,and visual information representation.

  • Honors

    National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2003); Best Doctoral Thesis Award from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne (2001); University Medal from the University of Canberra, Australia (1997); Silver Medal from the 32nd International Mathematical Olympiad in Sweden (1991).

  • Research

    Minh Do's research interests are in the broad area of signal and image processing. The primary research goal of his research group has been developing new "true" multidimensional tools that can capture geometrical structures that typically are the dominant feature in images and multidimensional data. Geometry has been long considered in mathematics and computer vision. The challenges in exploring geometry in image processing come from the discrete nature of the data, as well as the issues of robustness, efficiency, and speed. Do's group is working on a discrete-space framework for the construction of multiscale geometric image transforms that can be applied to sampled images. By connecting and unifying ideas from harmonic analysis, visual perception, computer vision, and signal processing, Do's group seeks new fruitful interactions between these fields.
