Fernando Lobo Pereira

Fernando Pereira graduated as an engineer and obtained the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal, in 1985, 1988, and 1991, respectively. He is currently a Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of IST. He is Member of the Editorial Board and Area Editor on Image/Video Compression of Signal Processing: Image Communication Journal, a Member of the IEEE Press Board, an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology, IEEE Transactions on Image Processing, and IEEE Transactions on Multimedia. He is an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer and a member of the scientific and program committees of tens of international conferences. He contributed more than 150 papers to journals and international conferences. He won the 1990 Portuguese IBM Award and an ISO Award for Outstanding Technical Contribution for his participation in the MPEG-4 Visual standard. For many years, he participates in the ISO/MPEG work, notably as the Portuguese Delegation Head, MPEG Requirements Group Chairman, and many MPEG-4 and MPEG-7 related ad hoc groups Chairman. Current areas of interest are video analysis, processing, coding and description, and multimedia interactive services.
