Bio
Wei Tsang received his B.Sc. (Hon.) degree in 1996 from the Department of Information Systems and Computer Science at NUS (now NUS Computing), and his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Cornell University, Ithaca, New York, in 2001. He spent a year as a postdoc fellow at Berkeley Multimedia Research Center in U.C. Berkeley after the completion of his Ph.D., before returning to join NUS Computing as a faculty member.
Wei Tsang’s research interests fall under the general area of interactive and networked multimedia systems applications. His current research focuses on volumetric video streaming and networked virtual environments. He has also recently ventured into interactive intelligent systems, to build AI that learns from humans as well as interaction techniques that facilitate interaction between human and AI.

My main research work falls under two main themes: interactive multimedia systems (e.g., immersive virtual environments, interactive videos) and interactive intelligence systems (e.g., human-in-the-loop learning, UI/UX for AI), spanning across the areas of computing systems, human-computer interaction, visual computing, and artificial intelligence.
