Guang Deng

Dr. Guang Deng serves as an Adjunct Associate Professor in the College of Engineering at La Trobe University, where he has maintained academic appointments since 1994. His technical expertise bridges communications engineering, signal processing, and advanced image analysis with practical applications in medical devices and computer vision systems.

Academic Background:

• BSc from Sun Yat-Sen University
• MEng from Chinese Academy of Sciences
• PhD from La Trobe University

Dr. Deng's research program centers on generalized linear image processing and statistical signal processing, with significant contributions to lossless image compression algorithms and noise reduction techniques specifically engineered for cochlear implant devices. His methodology combines theoretical mathematical frameworks with practical hardware implementation constraints, particularly evident in his recent work on fixed-point acceleration methods for resource-limited systems.

His publication trajectory reveals consistent innovation in image filtering techniques, evolving from foundational work on discrete Laplacian operators to contemporary deep learning applications in marine imaging. Key thematic developments include the progression from traditional signal processing to hybrid approaches incorporating machine learning, with growing emphasis on real-world constraints like embedded system limitations and illumination variability in agricultural imaging.
