The SIGMM Ph.D. Award Committee is pleased to recommend this year's award for the outstanding Ph.D. thesis in multimedia computing, communications and applications to Dr. Wanmin Wu.

Wu's dissertation documents fundamental work in the area of unifying systems  and user-centric approaches to managing information flows for supporting 3D tele-immersive environments. She has developed a theoretical framework for modeling and measuring QoE,  and for correlating QoE with Quality-of-Service (QoS) in distributed multi-modal interactive environments. This work has been significant in that...
