She was selected as an IEEE Fellow in 2019 "for leadership in multimedia signal processing."[1][2] Yeung's research and work have been featured in publications The New York Times, Bloomberg News, and Sina News.

Education

Yeung grew up in Hong Kong and entered Purdue University as a Chu Foundation Scholar, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering in 1992.[3] She received a Ph.D. in electrical engineering at Princeton University in 1996 and was advised by professor emeritus Bede Liu. Her thesis was titled Analysis, modeling and representation of digital video.[4]

Career and research

After receiving her Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1996, Yeung worked as a research staff member at the IBM T. J. Watson Research Center, principal engineer and research manager at the Intel Microprocessor Research Labs, and led multiple teams at Intel.[5][6][7] Her research specializes in video and signal processing, especially in topics of digital watermarking, video streaming, and image verification.

Her work has appeared in computer science journals and conferences including the Journal of Electronic Imaging, SIGGRAPH, Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications, and IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology.[8] She also owns 45 patents.[9] One patent, summary frames, was featured in The New York Times as a new method for viewers to watch enough of television shows being broadcast without pausing longer than usual.[10]

Yeung's work at the Intel Microprocessor Research Labs was mentioned in Robert Buderi's book Engines of Tomorrow: How the World's Best Companies Are Using Their Research Labs to Win the Future (2000).[11]

More recently, Yeung has been more involved in the education world. Since 2014 she has worked on growing IvyCube (科藤园), an educational startup primarily based in Shanghai & Northern California.[12]

In 2019, Yeung was elected to IEEE Fellow. She also served as the chair of the IEEE Jack S. Kilby Signal Processing Medal committee.[3]
