Li Zhang

I am a tenure-track Professor at the School of Data Science, Fudan University. Previously, I was a Research Scientist at Samsung AI Center Cambridge, and a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, under the supervision of professor Philip H.S. Torr and professor Andrew Zisserman. Prior to joining Oxford, I read my PhD in computer science under the supervision of professor Tao Xiang at Queen Mary University of London.

My general research interests cover the broad area of machine learning and artificial intelligence, with special emphasis on building intelligent systems for generative physical AI and autonomous driving.

To Prospective Students

If you are highly creative, have top grades/coding skill and interested in joining my group please do not hesitate to send me your CV and transcripts of grades.
Make sure you are super enthusiastic about AI research.
