Dr. Zhou Jin, a recent PhD graduate of the University of Macau (UM) Faculty of Science and Technology, was highly praised by Prof. Keith W. Hipel, president of the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada, for his doctoral dissertation. Prof. Hipel, who is a member of the Examination Committee, professor of systems design engineering at the University of Waterloo, president of the Academy of Science of the Royal Society of Canada, and senior fellow of the Centre for International Governance Innovation, said, “the high quality of Mr. Zhou’s PhD research easily satisfies the strict quality standards required at well-known universities around the globe such as the Imperial College in the United Kingdom, MIT in the United States, and the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan.” It shows that UM is making good progress towards becoming a world-class university.
Supervised by Chair Professor Philip Chen, Dr. Zhou’s dissertation concerns the development of original methodologies for effectively carrying out multi-attribute based data modelling in Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) in which high-dimensional data can be optimally collected and processed in wireless sensor networks. Dr. Zhou has made many seminal contributions in the field of CPS, particularly intelligent transportation systems. Much of Dr. Zhou’s research has been recognised internationally via the publication of three journal papers, two of which in the prestigious IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems and the third one in the renowned IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems. Dr. Zhou has also published five IEEE conference papers, two of which have received the Best Paper Award in 2012 and 2013 respectively.
