Twenty years ago, technologies developed by Liang Jie at Microsoft were incorporated into products like the Windows Media Video Player and Blu-ray discs used by millions worldwide.
A decade on, while a professor in Canada, Liang ventured into entrepreneurship, developing an intelligent sensor system for elderly care to address global population ageing.
Today, he brings his top-tier expertise in image and video compression back to China.
According to the Eastern Institute of Technology, Ningbo (EIT), he joined the university in January as a chair professor at its School of Electronic Science and Technology.
Liang was admitted to the special programme for gifted students at Xian Jiaotong University in 1988, transferring to the electrical engineering programme in 1989.
He earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees there in 1992 and 1995. This unique programme, one of only two in China at the time, enrolled junior high graduates, allowed free choice of major and offered direct progression to master’s studies.
