Ran He received his B.E. degree in Computer Science and his M.S. degree in Computer Science from Dalian University of Technology, and his Ph.D. degree in Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Systems from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2001, 2004 and 2009, respectively. In September 2010, Dr. He joined the NLPR, where he is currently a Professor. He is a member of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) and serves as an Associate Editor of the journal Neurocomputing (Elsevier), and on the program committees of several conferences. His research interests chiefly focus on information theoretic learning, pattern recognition, and computer vision. He has published over 140 conference papers and journal articles in highly ranked international journals, such as IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), IEEE Transactions on Image Processing (TIP), and Neural Computation (NECO). Tieniu Tan received his B.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from Xi'an Jiaotong University, China, in 1984, and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Electronic Engineering from the Imperial College London, UK, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. In October 1989, he joined the Computational Vision Group in the Department of Computer Science, University of Reading, UK, where he worked as a Research Fellow, Senior Research Fellow and Lecturer. In January 1998, he returned to China to join the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition (NLPR), where he is currently a Professor. He is the former director (1998–2013) of the NLPR and Center for Research on Intelligent Perception and Computing (CRIPAC), and was Director General of the Institute (2000–2007). He has also served as Vice President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (2015–2016). His current research interests include biometrics, image and video understanding, and information content security. Dr. Tan is a Fellow of the CAS, TWAS (The World Academy of Sciences for the advancement of science in developing countries), IEEE and IAPR, and an International Fellow of the UK Royal Academy of Engineering.
