　　应信息与电子学院邀请，美国伊利诺伊大学香槟分校(UIUC)Zhi-Pei Liang教授于2011年11月4日下午在华体会体育研究生楼411室开展了“21世纪学科前沿”学术交流活动，作了题为“Fast Imaging with Sparse Sampling”的学术报告，报告会由信息与电子学院院长龙腾教授主持，信息与电子学院数十位教师及研究生参加了此次报告会。

　　Zhi-Pei Liang教授长期致力于磁共振成像、超高分辨率图像重建、生物医学图像分析及其应用等方面的研究，在国际生物医学工程领域享有很高的学术声誉，现任IEEE生物医学工程（EMBS）主席，是IEEE、AIMBE以及ISMRM 会士。
 
　　Zhi-Pei Liang教授在报告中介绍了快速成像技术的研究现状，针对图像的稀疏性和部分可分离特性，给出了应用压缩感知理论和部分可分离函数理论进行快速成像的方法，并展示了应用实例。报告内容丰富，思路开阔，深入浅出地阐明了快速成像的新技术，引起与会师生的强烈关注和浓厚的兴趣，会上师生们与Zhi-Pei Liang教授进行了充分的交流和讨论。

　　通过这次学术交流活动，使与会人员受益匪浅，拓展了学术视野，对快速成像的技术研究现状和发展前景有了更深入的了解，对选择研究方向和开展科学研究均有很大帮助。

　　Biography: 

　　Dr. Zhi-Pei Liang received his Ph.D. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Case Western Reserve University in 1989. He subsequently joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) first as a postdoctoral fellow (with the late Nobel Laureate Professor Paul Lauterbur), and then as a faculty member in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. He is currently Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Co-chair of the Integrative Imaging Theme of the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology.

　　Dr. Liang is a recipient of several research and teaching awards, including the NSF CAREER Award (1995), UIUC Henry Magnuski Scholar Award (1999-2001), UIUC Ronald W. Pratt Faculty Outstanding Teaching Award (2005), and the UIUC Engineering Council Award for Excellence in Advising (2006-2008).  Recent work from his research group have also received several paper awards, including the Isidor I. Rabi award from the ISMRM (International Society of Magnetic Resonance in Medicine) (2009), IEEE-ISBI Best Paper Award (2010), and IEEE-EMBC Best Paper Awards (2010, 20111). Dr. Liang was elected as Vice President (2006-2009), President-elect (2010), and President (2011-2012) of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society. He is a Fellow of AIMBE (2005), IEEE (2006), and ISMRM (2010).
