Dr Xu Zhang

Senior Research Fellow

Dr Xu Zhang is a Senior Research fellow of the Computational Engineering & Design Group (CEDG) within the Faculty of Engineering and Physical Sciences (FEPS) at the University of Southampton.

Xu joined Rolls-Royce University Technology Centre (UTC) and CEDG in 2012 after obtaining MSc with Distinction in Computer Science at the University of Warwick and a PhD in Computer Science at the University of Gloucestershire. He has worked on a couple of research projects funded by both industry leader Rolls-Royce and the European Research Framework, including PROMETHEUS, DYNAMO, GEMinIDS, Exhaust, and COLIBRI. Currently, he is working on 3D geometry identification and generation using Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning techniques.
