Outreach Overview

• I have been actively engaged with communities and industries. My research work is about image search, which has a wide range of practical applications. I have met with university library, Kiama council, state & national archives, Carsales, and real estate agencies to introduce my work. In particular, to contribute to the development of local business, I joined UOW Entrepreneur Club (eClub) and regularly attended networking events, workshops and presentations. Through these activities, I established connections with local entrepreneurs and industry specialists. In July 2013, I participated in UOW Pitch Competition to present my idea on online shopping and obtained the finalist certificate. In addition to maintaining regular contact with local business, I developed collaborations with IT companies in China and US to commercialize my research work. Through these activities, I have been deeply impressed by the enthusiasm of industries on innovations and novel techniques. Also, I concretely realize the vital role of academic research in this regard. 
  
  

  In particular, I extended my research work to discover, protect and disseminate the culture of local community. Supported by a 2016 UOW community engagement grant titled “Retrieving Lost Community Stories: Linking Regional Archival Photo Collections using Advanced Visual Technologies,” I worked with UOW library, Illawarra Museum and Wollongong City Libraries to link their archival photo collections to share information. Also, my work enables community members to unprecedentedly query these collections with photos from their old family albums to discover lost stories. In doing so, my research work well supports the way that community connects with local history, by innovating community’s access to digital archival photo material. A demonstration website is being built to show the local community all the functions.

Outreach Overview

• I have been actively engaged with communities and industries. My research work is about image search, which has a wide range of practical applications. I have met with university library, Kiama council, state & national archives, Carsales, and real estate agencies to introduce my work. In particular, to contribute to the development of local business, I joined UOW Entrepreneur Club (eClub) and regularly attended networking events, workshops and presentations. Through these activities, I established connections with local entrepreneurs and industry specialists. In July 2013, I participated in UOW Pitch Competition to present my idea on online shopping and obtained the finalist certificate. In addition to maintaining regular contact with local business, I developed collaborations with IT companies in China and US to commercialize my research work. Through these activities, I have been deeply impressed by the enthusiasm of industries on innovations and novel techniques. Also, I concretely realize the vital role of academic research in this regard. 
  
  

  In particular, I extended my research work to discover, protect and disseminate the culture of local community. Supported by a 2016 UOW community engagement grant titled “Retrieving Lost Community Stories: Linking Regional Archival Photo Collections using Advanced Visual Technologies,” I worked with UOW library, Illawarra Museum and Wollongong City Libraries to link their archival photo collections to share information. Also, my work enables community members to unprecedentedly query these collections with photos from their old family albums to discover lost stories. In doing so, my research work well supports the way that community connects with local history, by innovating community’s access to digital archival photo material. A demonstration website is being built to show the local community all the functions.
