Yu-Chi Lai received the B.S. from National Taiwan University, Taipei, R.O.C., in 1996 in Electrical Engineering Department. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2003 and 2009 respectively in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from University of Wisconsin–Madison in 2004 and 2010 respectively in Computer Science. He is currently an assistant professor in NTUST. His research focus is on the area of computer graphics, computer vision, multimedia, and human-computer interaction. Due to his personal interesting, he is interested in industrial projects and he currently also cooperates with IGS to develop useful and interesting computer game technologies and NMA to develop animation technologies.

Andres Kwasinski received in 1992 his diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology, Buenos Aires, Argentina, and, in 2000 and 2004 respectively, the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, Maryland. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Engineering, Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York. Prior to this, he was with the Wireless Infrastructure group at Texas Instruments Inc., working on WiMAX and LTE technology, and with the University of Maryland, where he was a postdoctoral Research Associate. Dr. Kwasinski is a Senior Member of the IEEE, an Area Editor for the IEEE Signal Processing Magazine and Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications. He has been in the Organizing Committee for the 2010 IEEE GLOBECOM, 2011 and 2012 IEEE ICCCN, 2012 ICNC and 2013 IEEE ICME conferences. Between 2010 and 2012 he chaired the Interest Group on Distributed and Sensor Networks for Mobile Media Computing and Applications within the IEEE Multimedia Communications Technical Committee. His research interests are in the area of multimedia wireless communications and networking, cross layer designs, cognitive and cooperative networking, digital signal processing and speech, image and video processing for signal compression and communication, and signal processing for non-intrusive forensic analysis of speech communication systems.
