Jian Huang is in the spotlight in the latest UT Research Foundation newsletter
He is pioneering new ways to visualize large datasets, bringing information that was once inaccessible to everyday devices.
The latest issue of the University of Tennessee (UT) Research Foundation’s newsletter spotlights the cutting-edge work of Jian Huang, a Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at UT, Knoxville’s Tickle College of Engineering and Director of Seelab.
Ironically, Huang is also the person who worked with Assistant Editor Katelyn Biefeldt on our current survey of readers of teknovation.biz.
Huang is pioneering new ways to visualize large datasets, bringing information that was once inaccessible to everyday devices. With a passion for translating complex research into practical applications, Huang has created new pathways for public engagement with advanced technologies, particularly in data visualization, analytics, and AI.
“For computer science research, especially the kind of work that I am doing, the transformative impact is measured best by adoption,” says Huang in the spotlight article. “From this perspective, I see commercialization as an important route to put my research to the litmus test.”
Huang has filed 11 disclosures, holds one issued patent, secured two license agreements, and founded one startup. He was also one of five faculty entrepreneurs to receive $50,000 for their work through the inaugural Chancellor’s Innovation Fund, which the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development administers. The program is designed to improve the region’s entrepreneurship pipeline and provide a pathway to commercialize technology for faculty.
