[edit] More Information
Dr. Le M. Thinh (or Thinh M. Le in North America) started his R&D career in 1992 after having been Canada Scholar and graduating his B.A.Sc. with Magna Cum Laude at the University of Ottawa, Canada. From 1993 to 2003, he worked for a number of companies including Nortel Networks (formerly Northern Telecom Electronics and Bell-Northern Research), Lumic Electronics (later renamed to Atsana Semiconductor, and bought by MtekVision), and as a Program Manager at SimplestCity Inc. In 1995, he obtained his M.A.Sc. in image processing under the Canadian Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Scholarship. Prior to successfully completing his Ph.D. research in video compression and the associated high performance architectures in 2000, he joined Lumic Electronics as Technology Founder and Senior Systems Architect whose main responsibilities were to provide engineering leadership and to envision, design, and implement novel architectures and algorithms for efficient video compression for portable handheld devices such as feature phones and PDAs. This work, along with other Canadian collaborative research efforts, has resulted in a successful commercial multimedia processor - rated as world's top 100 products of 2002 (due to its cost-effectiveness, architectural scalable, software programmable, and reported "to deliver up to 15 times the processing capability of alternative programmable multimedia processors while consuming as little as one-third the power" ) by the leading US EDN engineering magazine, and a number of patents applied in the US and worldwide. Recently in March 2005, this product has been adopted by Samsung in their 2 Megapixel camera phones.
