Touradj Ebrahimi receives a Multimedia Star Innovator Award

The Multimedia Star Innovator Award was created to recognize pioneers of transformative technologies and business models in areas within the technical scope of the IEEE ICME conference series. The Award showcases innovations that have had great impact on human experiences or are anticipated to do so in the near future. To reflect widespread appreciation by the community, the winner is selected through voting by registered attendees of the conference, from among finalists selected by an Award Board.

The award has been given to two finalists: Touradj Ebrahimi, Professor at EPFL, leading Quality of Experience Assessment Solutions and Multimedia Standardization; Rajan Patel, Senior Director at Google, and Aparna Chennapragada, Google Executive, leading the invention and creation of Google Lens.

Touradj Ebrahimi has been rewarded for being the inventor of the Quality of Experience in Multimedia. The EPFL professor used this concept to develop techniques which lead to the creation of international multimedia standards like MPEG and JPEG. These standards keep transforming the world of multimedia today.
