Personal Information

Ming Dong received his B. S. degrees in electrical engineering and industrial management engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Shanghai, China, in 1995. He received his Ph. D degree in electrical engineering from University of Cincinnati in 2001. From 1995 to 1997, He was a lecturer at University of Petroleum, Shan Dong, P. R. China. He was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at Wayne State University from 2002 to 2008. He was prompted to Associate Professor of Computer Science with Tenure in 2008 and is the director of Machine Vision and Pattern Recognition Laboratory (MVPRL), part of the Visual Informatics and Intelligence Group at Wayne State University.

Dr. Dong's areas of research include pattern recognition, data mining, and multimedia content analysis. His research is funded by National Science Foundation, State of Michigan, and Industries. He has published technical articles in journals such as IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, IEEE Transactions on Computers, Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery, IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, IEEE Transactions on  Visualization and Computer Graphics, and in leading conferences such as IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM), and ACM Conference on Multimedia (ACM MM). He is currently an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Journal of Pattern Analysis and Applications (Springer).
