Among the galaxy of research and development organizations in northwest Beijing's Zhongguancun district,known as China's Silicon Valley,two are especially well-known to IT researchers:Microsoft Research Asia(MSRA),and,within a few blocks on the other side of the street,the CAS Institute of Automation(CASIA).While most people in Chinese scientific organizations strive to move to a large foreign counterpart,Dr.Stan Z.Li(LI Ziqing)moves against the stream. Both unassuming and energetic,Dr.Li currently works as head of the Center for Biometrics and Security Research(CBSR)at the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition, which is affiliated to CASIA.Before joining CASIA in 2004 through the prestigious Bairen Program,he was an associate professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore and a researcher at MSRA.His research interests,Dr.Li says,lie in face recognition and intelligent video surveillance.It is his lifetime goal to develop the world's best face recognition system and promote its application all over the globe.
