About Me

I am now a Researcher at Technology Innovation Institute (TII). Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. at University of Paris-Saclay in 2022, where I worked under the supervision of Prof. Karine Zeitouni and Dr. Yehia Taher. I received my B.Sc degree in Optical & Electronic Information from Huazhong University of Science & Technology, China in 2015, and my M.Sc. degree in Data Science from University of Paris-Saclay, France in 2018, as well as an engineer degree in Computer Science from Polytech Sorbonne & Sorbonne Université, France in 2017. My research interests are broadly in machine learning and complex data mining, particularly: Edge AI; Large Generative Models; Temporal or/and Spatial data analysis.

All kinds of collaborations are welcomed! If you are interested, please contact me by email jingwei.zuo@tii.ae.
