Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Ngan Le's research focuses on developing trustworthy, robust, and efficient multimodal frameworks for video analytics, particularly addressing challenges posed by imperfect data such as limited labeled data, noisy data, biased data, and unseen data. Her work also investigates real-time applications on edge devices and the analysis of complex real-world scenarios. Dr. Le is proficient in processing and understanding various data modalities, including image, video, point cloud, volumetric data, time series, and remote sensing data. Her expertise encompasses image processing, scene understanding, multiple object tracking, behavior analysis, and 3D reconstruction.

She is currently an Associate Professor and Director of the Artificial Intelligence & Computer Vision (AICV) Lab in the Department of Electrical Engineering & Computer Science at the University of Arkansas. Previously, Dr. Le was a Postdoctoral Fellow at Carnegie Mellon University. She holds a Ph.D. and Master's degrees in Electrical & Computer Engineering from Carnegie Mellon University and Master's and Bachelor's degrees in Computer Science from Vietnam.

Dr. Le has secured significant federal funding for her research. She is the Principal Investigator (PI) on an NSF CAREER award focused on trustworthy, robust, and efficient multimodal frameworks for video analytics, totaling $499,556. She also serves as a Co-PI on two NSF Convergence Accelerator awards: "Cultivate IQ - Empowering Regional Food Systems" ($4,998,818) and "Data-driven Agriculture to Bridge Small Farms to Regional Food Supply Chains" ($743,651). Her research output includes 36 publications, with an h-index of 13 and 384 total citations.
