  1. Are you or have you been an MPEG member?
    I have been an MPEG member since 2017. I focus on MPEG video coding standards in the past.
  2. What do you think makes MPEG special?
    The MPEG meeting is held every three months and hundreds of experts from various company join together to develop MPEG standards.
  3. What do you think is the most important MPEG impact?
    The MPEG significantly improves the user experiences on services related to videos and also facilitate the progress of other related fields
  4. Do you think MPEG is a good conduit for research?
    The MPEG group develops the most cutting-edge technologies which provide the best guidance for the researchers. When I was a Ph.D candidate, I was involved in the development of HEVC and I was confused what should I do on video coding field. So I read some MPEG proposals, these high-quality proposals really broadened my vision and I knew what other top experts were doing and also learned from those proposal what is the most promising direction in video coding which is very helpful for my Ph.D experience.
  5. Can you comment on your MPEG experience?
    I learned a lot from the MPEG. My major is computer science during my PhD so I didn’t have much experience on hardware codec. But I learned a lot about that from the MPEG meetings. I also learned the presentation skill from the other MPEG experts.
  6. Are you satisfied with MPEG standards?
    I think MPEG did very well and became better now.
  7. Do you think MPEG standards are the right choice?
    MPEG is very good however the competitors also become stronger than before. So it hard to say whether MPEG standards will be the right choice in the future.
  8. What do you expect from MPEG in the future?
    Continue the excellent work that MPEG is doing now.
