Background

I am Jun (Chris) Jiang, and now I am working in Apple in Cupertino, CA. I obtained my Ph.D. in Color Science in 2013 in Munsell Color Science Laboratory (MCSL) in the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science (CIS) in Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT). I am co-adviced by Prof. Jinwei Gu and Franziska Frey. My research interest is in :

Computational Photography
Color Science
Fine Art Reproductions in Museums

Background

I started working in Apple in 2013 after getting Ph.D. in Color Science from the Munsell Color Science Laboratory in Center for Imaging Science in Rochester Institute of Technology. Before pursing my Ph.D., I was working in Eizo in Japan as software developer from 2006 to 2008 upon receving my bachelor degree from East China Normal University. Here is a copy of my resume.
