Hi, my name is Zhijie Xu. I have recently joined Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University (XJTLU) in the beautiful Chinese city of Suzhou as the Head of the Department of Computing (CPT) within the School of Advanced Technology. I am excited to get started in my new role and look forward to working with talented new colleagues within XJTLU.
Before joining XJTLU in 2024, I worked as a full professor specializing in visual computing at the University of Huddersfield in the United Kingdom. During that time, I undertook undergraduate and postgraduate curriculum development and teaching duties across a wide range of computer science and engineering subjects, including computer graphics, computational geometry, games and extended reality (VR/AR/MR/XR), digital image processing, and computer vision, as well as various team-and-studio-based projects. My research spans over 30 years and delves into real-time graphics, interactive visualization, machine vision, robotics, smart systems, computational linguistics, machine learning, and computer architecture. I have supervised over 20 PhDs to successful completion, published 200 peer-reviewed papers, and edited 5 books. I own a dozen vision and visualization-related patents, ranging from new algorithms and models to devices and apparatus. I have led, co-led, and peer-reviewed major projects for funding councils such as RCUK and Horizon Europe. Personally, I have led projects with a total funding over 1.5 million pounds. Additionally, I have served as an editor for several journals and chaired many conferences.
Beyond enjoying my work, I am a keen tennis player in my spare time and enjoy reading news and sports, history books, and art reviews. I also enjoy listening to a mix of music and songs, from pop to classical. Whenever I can, I like to travel, sightsee, and chat with local people to understand their culture and customs—if possible, learning a couple of greeting words too. Anyway, that’s a bit about me.
My email address is Zhijie.xu@xjtlu.edu.cn and my extension number is 89165973. Please feel free to get in touch.
