"Life is a Fascinating Dream in a Perfect Disguise of Reality" - Arul

Brief Bio:

ArulMurugan Ambikapathi (S’02-M’11) received the B.E. degree in electronics and communication engineering from Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, India, in 2003, the M.E degree in communication systems from Anna University, Chennai, India, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Communications Engineering (ICE), National Tsing Hua University (NTHU), Hsinchu, Taiwan, in 2011. He is currently a Scientist at Deep Learning 2.0, Institute of Infocomm Research, a research wing of Agency for Science, Technology, and Research, Singapore. He was a Team lead and Senior Algorithm Engineer at Utechzone Co. Ltd., Taipei, Taiwan, from Sep. 2014 to June 2018, where he found and lead an AI team to develop the first AI-AOI Solution in Taiwan. Earlier, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow with ICE, NTHU, from Sep. 2011 to Aug. 2014. His research interests are in computer vision, deep learning theories and applications, and hyperspectral and biomedical image analysis. Dr. Ambikapathi was the recipient of Gold and Silver medals for academic excellence in his B.E and M.E programs, respectively. He was also the recipient of the NTHU Outstanding Student Scholarship award for two consecutive years (2009 and 2010). He was a co-recipient of the IEEE Workshop on Hyperspectral Image and Signal Processing: Evolution in Remote Sensing 2011, Best Paper Award. He was awarded ”The Best Ph.D Thesis Award” from IEEE GeoScience and Remote Sensing Society,Taipei Chapter.
