Roger Zimmermann is a Full Professor at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore (NUS), where he is also a Co-PI at the Grab-NUS AI Lab and leads the Location AI project. He previously served as Deputy Director of the NUS Smart Systems Institute (SSI) and Co-Director of the Centre of Social Media Innovations for Communities (COSMIC), both funded by Singapore’s National Research Foundation (NRF). Before joining NUS, he was a Research Area Director and Research Assistant Professor at the University of Southern California (USC). Ph.D. in Computer Science, University of Southern California (1998) M.S. in Computer Science, University of Southern California (1994) His research focuses on multimedia systems , spatio-temporal data management , streaming media architectures (especially DASH), machine learning applications , AR/VR , and location-based services . He leads the Media Management Research Lab (MMRL) at NUS, which conducts cutting-edge work in distributed multimedia and intelligent systems. His work combines theoretical depth with real-world applications in urban computing, smart mobility, and immersive media. The recent publications reflect a strong trend toward multimodal learning , spatio-temporal AI , adaptive streaming , and urban intelligence . His team explores zero-shot learning, 3D scene understanding, traffic forecasting, and open-vocabulary audio-visual segmentation, often leveraging foundational models and deep neural architectures. There is a clear emphasis on real-time, scalable systems for smart cities and immersive experiences. Dr. Zimmermann has received numerous accolades, including: DASH-IF Excellence in DASH Award (multiple years) Best Paper Awards at ACM SIGSPATIAL, IEEE ICME, and ACM MMSys Silver Award at ACM MMSys 2020 Grand Challenge IEEE Communications Society Best Editor Award (2017) ACM Distinguished Member (2017) Top 1% Publons Reviewer in Computer Science (2018) He has advised numerous students and led major research initiatives funded by MOE, NRF, A*STAR, NSF, and industry partners like Seagate, Intel, and HP. He has served as General Chair for IEEE MIPR 2023, ACM Multimedia 2020, and IEEE ISM 2015, and as TPC Co-Chair for several top-tier conferences. His editorial roles include Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Multimedia (TMM), ACM TOMM, and IEEE OJ-COMS. He leads the Media Management Research Lab (MMRL) , which focuses on intelligent multimedia systems, spatiotemporal data mining, and immersive media technologies. The lab develops scalable solutions for real-world challenges in urban computing, smart transportation, and interactive media.
