报告人简介：

Dr Xiao-Jun Zeng received the B.Sc. degree in Mathematics and the M.Sc. degree in Control Theory and Operation Research from Xiamen University, Xiamen, China, respectively and the Ph.D. degree in Computation from the University of Manchester, Manchester, U.K.

 He has been with the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester since 2002, where he is currently a Senior Lecturer in Machine Learning and Optimisation. Before joining the University of Manchester in 2002, he was with Knowledge Support Systems, Ltd., Manchester, between 1996- 2002, where he was the Head of Research, developing intelligent pricing decision support systems which won the European Information Society Technologies Award in 1999 and Microsoft European Retail Application Developer (RAD) Awards in 2001 and 2003. His research in intelligent pricing decision support systems was selected by UKCRC, CPHC, and BCS Academy as one of 20 impact cases to highlight the impact made by UK academic Computer Science Research within the UK and worldwide over the period 2008 – 2013.

Dr Zeng’s main research interests include computational intelligence, machine learning, big data and data mining, decision support systems, computational finance, energy demand management, and game theory. He has published about 120  journal and conference papers in these areas and his research has been funded UK EPSRC, Innovate UK TSB, EU 6th  and 7th  Framework Programmes, and EU H2020 Programme. His currently funded projects include “Hierarchical and real-time big data analytics for performance analysis and prediction of mobile networks” by EPSRC Impact Acceleration Account with Wadaro Ltd and “Big Data in Finance” by EU Horizon 2020 Framework Programme.

Dr Zeng has served to scholarly and professional communities in various roles including an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, Special Session Chair of 2008 IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence, Program Chair of 2009- 2016 IEEE Symposium on Computational Intelligence in Control and Automation, and the General Chair of 11th annual UK Workshop on Computational Intelligence, as well as an elected member of the UK EPSRC College. He is also a member of Fuzzy Systems Technical Committee and Intelligent Systems Applications Technical Committee of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society.
