Seamless Solution for Immersive TransformationProf. Chae Eun Rhee
Biography
Chae Eun Rhee received the B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea, in 2000, 2002, and 2011, respectively. From 2002 to 2005, she was with the Digital TV Development Group, Samsung Electronics Company Ltd., Suwon City, Korea, as an Engineer, where she was involved in bus architecture and MPEG decoder development. In 2013, she joined the Department of Information and Communication Engineering at Inha University, Korea. Her research interests include algorithm/architecture design of immersive video for the AR/VR/MR systems, deep-learning hardware accelerator, and processing-in-memory.
Abstract
Many industries are preparing for digital transformation for the post-corona era. People demand more personalized video content, and at the same time, they pursuit a metaverse to communication and experience together. This talk introduces a study on the establishment of a plug-and-play-based immersive media integration platform that enables system-level performance verification for research in the rapidly developing immersive media field. Our platform aims to organically connect all processes of acquisition, processing, appreciation, and sharing for immersive media, and to enable seamless transformation from current 2-dimenstional image data to immersive media environments. |

Abstract
Neural interface devices that establish a direct communication pathway with the nervous system not only help deepen our understanding of the brain but also enable neuromodulation-based therapies for neurological disorders, e.g., Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, etc. My team aims to explore novel circuit topologies and system architectures to develop state-of-the-art neural interface devices. First, the major trends in the development of neural interface devices will be introduced. Next, our recent work on the development of neural interface devices, spanning from low-power ASIC designs to wireless power and data transmission strategies, will be presented. Finally, future expectations on how to address the remaining challenges in bioelectronics will be discussed to conclude this presentation. |
