Shuhan ZHONG (钟书涵)

Assistant Professor, Beijing Normal-Hong Kong Baptist University (BNBU)

profile.png

I obtained my PhD degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST), under the supervision of Prof. Shueng-Han Gary Chan. I hold two Master’s degrees: a Master of Science degree (in Information Technology) from HKUST, and a Master of Engineering degree (by research, in Geodesy and Surveying Engineering) from Wuhan University (WHU) under the supervision of Prof. Caijun Xu. I received my Bachelor’s degree (in Geodesy and Geomatics Engineering) from WHU.

My research focus on the analytics and modeling of sequential and temporal data with deep learning, for the purpose of both scientific research (e.g. earth science and medicine) and real-world applications (e.g. healthcare and transportation).

Openings for MPhil and Research Assistant

I am recruiting MPhil students and Research Assistants. Highly motivated candidates with strong backgrounds in ML, AI, data mining, and interests in (spatio-)temporal/sequential/graph modeling are encouraged to contact me. Interdisciplinary research experience and solid domain knowledge—especially in areas such as healthcare, transportation, or earth science—are particularly welcome. Please include your CV and a brief statement of research interests in your email.
