Ho received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer science from
Northwestern University in 1989. He received his B.S. in electrical engineering
from National Cheng Kung University in 1978 and his M.S. at Institute of
electronics of National Chiao Tung University in 1980. He joined Institute of
Information Science, Academia Sinica, Taiwan, R.O.C as a associate research
fellow in 1989,and is promoted to research fellow in 1994. He visited IBM T. J.
Watson Research Center in summer 1987 and 1988, Leonardo Fibonacci Institute for
the Foundations of Computer Science, Italy, in Summer 1992, and Dagstuhl-Seminar

SchloŁ] Dagstuhl, Fachbereich Informatik, Bau 36, Universität des
Saarlandes, Germany, in October 1993. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
His
research interests target at the integration of theoretical and
application-oriented research, including mobile computing, environment for
management and presentation of digital archive, management, retrieval, and
classification of web documents, continuous video streaming and distribution,
video conferencing, real-time operating systems with applications to continuous
media systems, computational geometry, combinatorial optimization, VLSI design
algorithms, and implementation and testing of VLSI algorithms on real designs.
He is
Associate Editor of IEEE Transaction on Multimedia. He was Program Chair of
Symposium on Real-time Media Systems, Taipei, 1994 - 1998, General Co-Chair of
International Symposium on Multi-Technology Information Processing, 1997 and
will be General Co-Chair of IEEE RTAS
