Vivienne Sze
Vivienne Sze is an American electrical engineer and computer scientist whose research focuses on low-power electronics and on the trade-offs between energy use and computing power in the combined design of software and hardware, for applications including video coding and deep neural networks.[1][2][3] She is an associate professor in the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, where she heads the Energy-Efficient Multimedia Systems Group.[1][4]
Education and career
[edit]Sze did her undergraduate studies in electrical engineering at the University of Toronto, graduating in 2004.[5] She was a student of Anantha P. Chandrakasan at MIT,[1] where she earned a master's degree in 2006 and completed her Ph.D. in 2010; her doctoral research won MIT's Jin-Au Kong Outstanding Doctoral Thesis Prize in electrical engineering.[5]
After completing her doctorate, she worked on video coding at Texas Instruments.[1] She became a member of the Joint Collaborative Team on Video Coding (JCT-VC), which developed the standard for High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC). After completing her work on HEVC,[6] she returned to MIT as a faculty member in 2013.[7]
Books
[edit]With Madhukar Budagavi and Gary J. Sullivan, Sze edited the book High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC): Algorithms and Architectures (Springer, 2014). With Yu-Hsin Chen, Tien-Ju Yang, and Joel S. Emer, she is a coauthor of Efficient Processing of Deep Neural Networks (Morgan & Claypool, 2020).
Recognition
[edit]As part of the JCT-VC, Sze and her collaborators won a 2017 Primetime Engineering Emmy Award for their work on HEVC.[6] In 2020 she became the inaugural winner of the Rising Star Award of ACM-W, the Council on Women in Computing of the Association for Computing Machinery.[7]
