Professor Daming Shi

Bio

Prof Daming Shi got his first PhD in Mechanical Engineering from the Harbin Institute of Technology, followed by the second PhD in Computer Science from the University of Southampton. Before joining UCA, he worked as a Reader of Theoretical Computer Science at Middlesex University, and Assistant Professor at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He was appointed as visiting or distinguished professor by universities across the world including Germany, Australia, South Korea and China.

Recently, Prof Shi founded the Intelligent Virtual Reality Lab in Shenzhen, applying AI to VR products. He was a co-founder of the Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence Association (PREMIA), Singapore, and chair of the technical committee on the Intelligent Internet System, IEEE SMC Society.

Prof Shi has completed a number of projects across the world, funded by the Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), National Medical Research Council (NMRC), Singapore, National Science Foundation Council (NSFC) China, Ministry of Science and Technology (MOST), China, as well as EU FP7.

So far, he has published two books and over 200 papers in the areas of artificial intelligence and image processing. His publications appear in reputable journals such as IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIP, and IEEE TFS; as well as major conferences such as CVPR.

Here are ten of his representative publications:
