Biography

Zhong Wang, Ph.D. in Engineering, Research Professor. He received his bachelor’s degree in computer science and his doctoral degree in computational mechanics from Dalian University of Technology in 1994 and 2000, respectively. Since 2008, his research has focused on model construction, computational analysis, and software development, with long-term engagement in the fields of biostatistics and bioinformatics. In recent years, he has achieved a series of significant research outcomes in gene association analysis, gene regulation, and related areas of bioinformatics, publishing over 100 academic papers, including several in top international journals such as Nature Genetics and Nature Cancer. Currently, he is collaborating extensively with international research institutions on computational genomics and medical image processing using deep learning models. Outstanding Ph.D. candidates and postdoctoral researchers are welcome to join his team.
