Thierry Pun

T. Pun received his Ph.D. degree in image processing in 1982, at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL).He joined the University of Geneva, Switzerland, in 1986, where he is currently a Full Professor at the Computer Science Department and Head of the Computer Vision and Multimedia Lab. Since 1979, he has been active in various domains of image processing, image analysis, and computer vision. He has authored or coauthored over 200 journal and conference papers in these areas as well as seven patents, and led or participated to a number of national and European research projects.His current research interests, related to the design of multimedia information systems and multimodal interaction, focus on data hiding, image and video watermarking, image and video content-based information retrieval systems, EEG signals analysis, and brain-computer interaction.
