Zhigang Zhu

Professor Zhu joined the Department of Computer Science at City College of City University of New York in 2002 where he is currently a full professor. From 1998 to 2002, he was a Senior Research Fellow at University of Massachusetts at Amherst. Prior to that, he was an associate professor and the director of Information Processing and Application Division of the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, China.

Dr Zhu's research interests include computer vision, multimodal sensing, robot perception and augmented reality. He is Director of the City College Visual Computing Laboratory (CcvcL), and Co-Director of the Center for Perceptual Robotics, Intelligent Sensors and Machines (PRISM) at CCNY. He has published over 100 papers in the related fields.

Prof. Zhu is an Associate Editor of Machine Vision and Applications Journal, Springer, a Senior Member of the IEEE and a Senior Member of the ACM. He was Program Co-Chair of the IEEE Workshop on Image and Video Registration 2004, co-guest editor of the special issue on Modeling and Representations of Large Scale 3D Scenes, Int. J. Computer Vision, Springer, and Co-General Chair of the 2007 IEEE Workshop on Multimodal Sentient Computing, in conjunction with CVPR 2007 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Website
