Professor Shugong Xu （徐树公）is the Associate Vice President for Research and Impact at Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and a full professor in the Department of Intelligent Science at XJTLU’s School of Advanced Technology. He is an expert in artificial intelligence, pattern recognition, and wireless communication systems. 

After receiving his bachelor's drgree in Electronics at Wuhan University, Prof. Xu obtained his master degree in Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Control and his PhD in Communication and Information Systems at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). 

Professor Xu has a distinguished R&D and academic career of more than 30 years. Half of his career time spans in top industrial research labs, including Sharp Labs of America, Huawei 2012 Labs and Intel Labs. Prof. Xu has led many national and international projects and is a recipient of numerous honours, including the National Innovation Leadership Talent Award (2013) and the First Prize in Shanghai’s Natural Science Award (2023). He was named an IEEE Fellow in 2016 and won the Award for Advances in Communication from the IEEE Communication Society in 2017. Before joining XJTLU, Prof. Xu was a full professor at Shanghai University since 2016. His research output includes over 80 patents issued in US/WO/CN, and more than 200 peer-reviewed research papers. 

Professor Xu's recent research interests include multimodal sensing (especially for low altitude sensing and autonomous driving), AI for drug design (for example linker design for ADC and antibody design), as well as foundation models ( for example Channel Foundation Model, CFM, for wireless communication and sensing ), etc.  

Professor Xu is looking for candidates for postdoc fellows, PhD/MS students, research assistants, undergraduate interns. Those who are interested in these positions are welcomed to enquire through email.
