Shih-Fu Chang (Chinese: 張世富) is a Taiwanese computer scientist and electrical engineer who is the Morris A. and Alma Schapiro Professor of Engineering at Columbia University, where he has also served as the dean of the Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science since 2022.
Chang is noted for his research on multimedia information retrieval, computer vision, machine learning, and signal processing. He served as the chair of the Special Interest Group of Multimedia (SIGMM) at the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) from 2013 to 2017. He was ranked as the Most Influential Scholar in the field of Multimedia by Aminer in 2016.[1] He was elected as an ACM Fellow in 2017.[2]
Chang graduated from National Taiwan University with a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in electrical engineering in 1985. He then earned a Master of Science (M.S.) in 1991 and his Ph.D. in 1993, both from the University of California, Berkeley, in electrical engineering and computer science.[3]
After receiving his doctorate degree, he joined Columbia University as an assistant professor. He served as the Chair of Electrical Engineering from 2007 to 2010 and received joint appointment in Computer Science in 2011. He served as a co-PI and later as Co-Director of Columbia University’s ADVENT Industry Consortium, which includes more than 25 industry sponsors in the area of media technologies, from 1993 to 2003. He became the Senior Vice Dean (2012-2015) and later Senior Executive Vice Dean (2015-2022) of Columbia's Engineering School, assuming a major role in the School’s efforts in Strategic Planning, Special Research Initiatives, Faculty Development, and International Collaboration. He is currently the dean of Columbia School of Engineering and Applied Science. Chang is noted for his influential work in multimedia information retrieval, with broad applications in large-scale image/video search, mobile visual search, image authentication, and information retrieval with semi-supervised learning. His research has resulted in more than 10 technology licenses to companies and the creation of three startup companies. As of January 2023, his publications have been cited more than 67,000 times with an h-index of 130.[4]
