Nevenka Dimitrova, Research Fellow
Philips Research North America, Briarcliff Manor, USA

Nevenka is with Philips Research since 1995. Her research passion has been in the areas of content management, content synthesis, video content navigation and retrieval, and content understanding. More recently, she has become interested in both what biological systems can do for computation and what computation can do for biological systems. She believes that the advancement of multimedia information systems can help improve the quality of life (and survival), and that our inspiration for changing multimedia processing should come from real life, from philosophy and psychology, but the research should be firmly grounded on a formal mathematical basis. She is a visiting scientist at the Digital Video and Multimedia group at the Columbia University. She has given various keynote presentations, and actively participates in conferences of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE). She chaired and served on more than 30 program committees, and is currently serving on the editorial boards of ACM Multimedia Systems Journal, IEEE Multimedia, and ACM Transactions on Information Systems.
