His research interests are in multimedia, signal processing, wireless communications, discrete transforms, machine learning and signal processing algorithms and implementation. He contributed to the development of a series of audio compression technologies such as Audio Video Standards AVS-L, AVS-2 and International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 14496-3:2005/Amd.2:2006, ISO/IEC 14496-3:2005/Amd.3:2006 in which some have been licensed to several companies. He has more than 15 years of experience in leading research team for media related research that cover areas in signal processing (audio coding, video/image processing), media analysis (text/speech, image, video), media security (biometrics, computer vision and surveillance) and sensor networks. He has published more than 300 articles and has been granted more than 70 patents worldwide out of which 15 are US patents.,Dr. Rahardja was a recipient of several honors including the IEE Hartree Premium Award, the Tan Kah Kee Young Inventors’ Open Category Gold Award, the Singapore National Technology Award, the A STAR Most Inspiring Mentor Award, the Finalist of the 2010 World Technology and Summit Award, the Nokia Foundation Visiting Professor Award, and the ACM Recognition of Service Award. He attended the Stanford Executive Program at the Graduate School of Business in Stanford University, Stanford, CA, USA. He was a past Associate Editors of IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and Language Processing and the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia, a past Senior Editor of the IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Signal Processing, and is serving as an Associate Editors for the Elsevier Journal of Visual Communication and Image Representation and the IEEE Transactions on Multimedia. He was the Conference Chair of the 5th the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Special Interest Group on Computer GRAPHics Asia (SIGGRAPHASIA) in 2012 and the Asia–Pacific Signal and Information Processing Association (APSIPA) 2nd Summit and Conference in 2010 and 2018 as well as other conferences in ACM, the International Society for Optical Engineering (SPIE), and IEEE.
