Mei Chen of Intel Labs, Pittsburgh

Mei Chen is a senior scientist at Intel Research Pittsburgh. Her research interests include medical image computing, computer vision, robotics, and machine learning.

 

Looking back at the genesis of her interest in science Mei recounts, "My parents are both scientists who work in the Chinese Aeronautics Administration. That's like NASA in the US. In China, I did my college education in China before I came to the U.S. for grad school. The cultural revolution was over and China realized it needed to develop technology, so teachers held up people like Madame Curie as a role model for students. I actually once thought I could be like that someday. Now I realize how hard that is. But still, I see the work I'm doing is very significant and helping to save lives."

 

Mei is a co-investigator of the Interactive Search-Assisted Decision Support (ISADS) project, she has been leading the development of ISADS applications in Dermatology and Ophthalmology. Prior to joining Intel, she was a research scientist at Hewlett-Packard Laboratories from 2001-2006. With a focus on computational photography, technologies she developed have been transferred to five HP products that are on the market. Before her career at HP Labs, Dr. Chen was a Member of Technical Staff at Sarnoff Corporation from 1999-2001, developing innovative video enhancement and rendering technologies. From 1996-1999, during her graduate study at Carnegie Mellon University, she designed a 3-D deformable registration algorithm for medical images that is used by peers today. Dr. Chen is the author of 31 peer-reviewed publications and 16 patents. She holds a Ph.D. and a M.S. from the School of Computer Science in Carnegie Mellon University, and a M.S. and B. S. from Tsinghua University in China.
