Biography

Yongpan Zou (邹永攀, [CV-en], [CV-cn]) is currently a tenured Associate Professor and Ph.D supervisor in the College of Computer Science and Software Engineering of Shenzhen University, since July 2022. Before that, he has been an Assistant Professor in CSSE of Shenzhen University since September 2017. He obtained his Ph.D degree in February 2017 in the CSE Department of HKUST, under the supervision of Prof. Lionel M. Ni. Prior to this, he received his Bachelor degree in School of Chemical Engineering and Technology, Xi’an Jiaotong University in July 2013. From March to August of 2017, he has been working as a research assistant in University of Macau.

In the past few years, he has been recognized as Overseas High-Caliber Personnel (深圳市海外高层次人才), High-level Talent in Nanshan District of Shenzhen (南山区领航人才), and Excellent Young Researcher of Shenzhen University (荔园优青). He has also achieved several academic awards owing to his excellent work in the field of ubiquitous and mobile computing, including the First Prize of Shenzhen Natual Science Award (深圳市自然科学奖一等奖), ACM SIGAPP China Rising Star Award (ACM SIGAPP中国新星奖), China Patent Awards of Excellence (中国专利优秀奖), Guangdong Patent Awards of Excellence (广东省专利优秀奖), the First Prize of GDCA Outstanding Research Papers (广东省计算机学会优秀论文一等奖), the Best Paper Award of IEEE MASS (最佳论文奖), and etc.. He has published more than 20 research papers in highly recognized conferences and journals such as ACM Ubicomp, ACM Mobicom, IEEE ICDCS, IEEE PerCom, and IEEE TMC, and received several research funds such as General Program of National NSF (基金委面上项目) and Yonth Program of National NSF (基金委青年项目).

Interest

My research interest covers Wearable and Mobile Computing, Human-computer Interaction, and Ubiquitous Sensing. My vision is to develop new technologies, algorithms, and systems that enable smart sensing, provide intelligent services, and deliver novel applications. I draw on novel sensing & computing technologies with embedded system design, machine learning models, signal processing algorithms, and mathematical methods to solve real-world problems. I am now leading Intelligent Sensing and Computing (ISAC, /ˈɪzək/) group.

NOTE: We are looking for self-motivated postdocs, postgraduate and undergraduate students with a strong background in computer science or electronic engineering. We have also opening positions for associate researchers. Please drop me an email with your resume if you are interested in our group.
