Abstract: Mobile devices have become the horsepower of electronic industry in the past few years. During this burst period, more and more challenges have emerged regarding the usability, power consumption, security and computing efficiency of the mobile platforms. In the meantime, the presence of innovative devices and applications, such as the VR/AR headset and wearable devices also provided extremely valuable research topic from the perspectives from the circuit level, system level and algorithms level. In this talk, Dr. Xiang Chen will present his research works on mobile computing, mobile graphic acceleration and mobile security technologies. He will also give a brief introduce to the George Mason University and his Intelligence Fusion Laboratory.
