Biography

Ce Liu got his PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Computer Science in 2009. Now he is a postdoc researcher at Microsoft Research New England and a research affiliate at CSAIL MIT. He received the BS degree in automation and the ME degree in pattern recognition from the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University in 1999 and 2002, respectively. From 2002 to 2003, he worked at Microsoft Research Asia as an assistant researcher. His research interests include computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning. He has published more than 20 papers in the top conferences and journals in these fields. He received a Microsoft Fellowship in 2005, the outstanding student paper award at the Advances in Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS) in 2006, a Xerox Fellowship in 2007, and the best student paper award at IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) in 2009.
