Dandan Ding received her B. Eng. degree (Honor.) in Communication Engineering from Zhejiang University, China, in 2006. During 2007 to 2008, she was an exchange student in Microelectronic Systems Laboratory (GR-LSM) of EPFL, Switzerland. After returning to Zhejiang University, she earned her Ph.D. degree in June 2011, and served first as a postdoc researcher from July 2011 through June 2013, then as a research associate in the Multimedia Communications Laboratory (MCL) till 2015. Since 2016, she has been with the School of Information Science and Technology, Hangzhou Normal University, as a faculty member with tenure track. Her research interests visual data compression, such as 2D video coding and 3D point cloud/3DGS compression, as well as real-time system implementations on NPU and FPGA platforms.

Dandan Ding is an active member in multimedia communication. In 2007, she was involved in the standardization activity of MPEG reconfigurable video coding and made a great contribution. In 2011, she won the ISO/IEC appreciation prize because of her leadership in the MPEG activities. She has published around 60 papers in leading journals such as Proceedings of the IEEE, IEEE TPAMI, TIP, TCSVT, TMM, and TVCG, and in major conferences such as CVPR, ICML, AAAI, ACMMM, IJCAI, ICIP, and ICASSP, and holds over 30 patents. She was invited to present her AV1-related research at the AOM Symposium in 2019, and since 2018, she has been continuously supported by Google’s Chrome University Relationship Program to advance AV2 development.
