Bio

Prof. Sabine Süsstrunk leads the Images and Visual Representation Group (IVRG) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences (IC) at EPFL since 1999. Her main research areas are in computational photography, color imaging, image quality metrics, image indexing, and archiving. She has a BS in Scientific Photography from ETH Zürich, Switzerland, a MS in Electronic Publishing from the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), Rochester, NY, USA, and a PhD on computing chromatic adaptation from the School of Computing Sciences, University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, UK.

From 2003-2004, she was a Visiting Scholar in the Computational Color Reproduction Group at Hewlett-Packard Labs in Palo Alto, CA, USA. From 1995-1999, she was the Principle Imaging Researcher at Corbis Corporation in Seattle, WA, USA. From 1991-1995, she was a Visiting Assistant Professor in the School of Photographic Arts and Sciences at the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). Sabine has authored and co-authored over 100 publications and holds 5 patents. She served as chair or committee member in many international conferences on color imaging, digital photography, and image systems engineering (General Chair for the IS&T/SPIE Annual Symposium on Electronic Imaging in 2011, Area Chair for IEEE CVPR 2011, Area Chair for IEEE ICIP 2008, 2009, etc.). She was an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing from 2007-2011, the Technical Secretary of the International Color Consortium (ICC) from 2000-2001, Vice-President of IS&T, the Society of Imaging Science and Technology, from 1999-2003, and Director of CIE Division 8 (Commission Internationale de l'Eclairage, Imaging Technology) from 2007-2011. Since 2011, she is Conference Vice-President for IS&T. Sabine is a senior member of IS&T and IEEE, a member of ACM and OSA, member of the board of EPFL-WISH (Women in Science and Humanities) Foundation, and member of the ACM E.L. Lawler Award Committee for Humanitarian Contributions within Computer Science and Informatics.
