Tieniu Tan graduated with a BSc from Xi'an Jiaotong University in 1984, and obtained his MSc (in 1986) and PhD (in 1989) degrees from Imperial College of Science,Technology and Medicine, London, UK. Prior to his return to China in 1998, He worked at the University of Reading, UK as Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer. He currently serve as the President of the Institute of Automation as well as the Director of the NLPR. He lead the Intelligent Recognition & Digital Security Group of the NLPR. His current research focuses on the visual surveillance and monitoring of dynamic scenes (for example, the detection and recognition of abnormal behaviors or other specific events), personal identification based on multiple biometric features such as face, iris, fingerprint, handwriting and gait, and watermarking of digital multimedia data such as digital static images and digital video. He also have research projects on image and video databases, invariant visual perception and mobilerobot navigation (especially for intelligent wheelchairs).
