معرفی
Dr. John See Su Yang is an Associate Professor at Heriot-Watt University's School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Malaysia Campus. He serves as Programme Director for BSc Computing Science and leads the Multimedia Data Analysis (MuDA) Lab. Previously, he was a Senior Lecturer at Multimedia University and founded the Visual Processing (ViPr) Lab, and served as a Visiting Research Fellow at Shanghai Jiao Tong University from 2017-2019.
- Received Bachelor, Masters, and PhD degrees from Multimedia University
- Published over 140 articles in top journals and conferences including IEEE T-PAMI, CVPR, and NeurIPS
- Secured over MYR 3 million in research funding as PI/Co-PI
Dr. See's research spans multimedia signal processing and computer vision with particular focus on affect and emotion understanding from images and videos. His work includes facial micro-expression analysis, image aesthetics, visual surveillance tasks, activity recognition, and classical image/video processing algorithms. His research has practical applications in micro-expression detection, human-robot interaction, and multimodal content generation.
His recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate strong activity in wind turbine blade inspection using UAVs, micro-expression analysis networks, drowsiness detection, and human-robot interaction. His work bridges theoretical computer vision advances with practical applications in renewable energy, transportation safety, and human-computer interaction.
- Best Reviewer Award, IEEE ICIP 2020
- Outstanding Reviewer Award, CVPR 2021
Dr. See actively mentors PhD students and serves on editorial boards for Signal Processing (as Subject Editor), IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, and several other prestigious journals. He is a Senior Member of IEEE and has served on technical committees for IEEE Multimedia Systems and Applications and Multimedia Signal Processing.
His MuDA Lab collaborates with the Visual Processing Lab at Multimedia University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, focusing on emotional analysis and multimodal systems for solving real-world problems. Dr. See accepts PhD students for projects on aesthetics and emotion processing in media and new paradigms for understanding human emotions in real-world scenarios.
