Computational Pulse Signal Analysis

​David Zhang graduated in Computer Science from Peking University. He received his MSc and PhD degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) in 1982 and 1985 respectively. From 1986 to 1988 he was a postdoctoral fellow at Tsinghua University and then an associate professor at the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing. In 1994 he received his second PhD degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. Currently, he is a chair professor at the Hong Kong Polytechnic University, where he is the founding director of the Biometrics Research Centre (UGC/CRC), which has been supported by the Hong Kong SAR Government since 1998. He also serves as visiting chair professor at Tsinghua University and HIT, and adjunct professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Peking University, National University of Defense Technology, and University of Waterloo. He has published more than 15books and 400 international journal papers. He was listed as a highly cited researcher in engineering by Thomson Reuters in 2014, 2015 and 2016. Prof. Zhang is a Croucher senior research fellow, distinguished speaker of the IEEE computer society, and a fellow of both the IEEE and the IAPR. Wangmeng Zuo is currently a professor at the School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, Harbin, China. His research interests include discriminative learning, deep learning, image modeling and low-level vision, and biometrics.
