👋Hi there, I am Zhiwei Shang (尚致违), currently a research assistant at Intelligent Transportation (INTR) Thrust in the System Hub, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (Guangzhou campus), supervised by Prof. Meixin Zhu.
Before this, I received Master of Electronic and Information Engineering in Computer Technology from University of Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2023, supervised by Prof. Yunduan Cui. I received Bachelor of Engineering in Hydrology and Water Resources Engineering from Sichuan University in 2020.
My research interests lie in the study of Artificial Intelligence algorithms and their engineering applications. I believe that the development of Artificial Intelligence can help us build a better, safer and more equal society!You’re more than welcome to write me an email to connect (or make friends)! Let’s explore the exciting world together! 🌌
