Biography

Qichun 'Kit' Zhang was awarded PhD degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from Control Systems Centre, University of Manchester, UK. Dr Zhang joined the Department of Computer Science, University of Bradford as Lecturer in 2019. Before that, he was Senior Lecturer in Dynamics and Control at De Montfort University and Senior Research Officer in Neural Engineering at University of Essex. His current research interests include stochastic dynamic systems, artificial intelligence, data-driven learning and design. He has published 80+ publications widely over the above areas. Dr Zhang is a Chartered Engineer (CEng) recognised by British Engineering Council and a Fellow of Higher Education Academy (FHEA). He holds the Membership of IET and the Senior Membership of IEEE. Currently, he is Associate Editor for IEEE Access and Journal of Intelligent Manufacturing (JIMS). He is a member of EPSRC Peer-review College and a member of IET Engineering Safety Policy Panel.
