Besides directing her research group MIRALab in Switzerland, she is presently Professor and Director of the Institute for Media Innovation (IMI) at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
Rezensionen
"The book is well edited and includes conclusions and future work discussions in most papers. ... Most papers emphasize empirical evidence of significant performance improvements of their subject algorithms using graphics processing units (GPUs). ... It is refreshing to see a book like this that brings together research in multiple disciplines in a form that is accessible to so many readers." (George S. Carson, Computing Reviews, July, 2015)
