Biography

Philip Zhao is a Senior Lecturer in James Watt School of Engineering at the University of Glasgow. He is the senior academic lead of the Scotland 5G Centre.  Zhao is an IEEE Senior Member and has expertise in AI and machine learning for wireless communications and robotics systems with a £3m research portfolio as PI and Co-I.

He has over 100 publications (including 20+ IEEE journals, such as JSTSP, TSP, JSAC, TCOM, TWC, etc. and top conferences, such as ICASSP, ICRA, IROS, ICC, Globecom, etc.). He received best paper awards from flagship conferences in IEEE INFOCOM (2021) and IEEE GLOBECOM (2012), and holds two patents. Zhao has led £1m university capital equipment projects in 2020-2022 and established the robotics lab with private 5G connectivity. As PI, Zhao delivered and secured robotics projects with industry partners: Innovate UK SUPERIOR in 2021 (VR robotics), a follow-on KTP project in 2022-2024 and the GKEF (Robotics Safety).  His research interests are AI and machine learning (deep learning and reinforcement learning) for cross-system design and optimization, including sensing (computer vision), communication (5G and 6G), and robotics (cyber physical infrastructure/internet of robot).

He is in particular interested in medical and healthcare applications. For example, measuring ageing via computer vision, robotic surgery/telesurgery, and low-cost robotics systems for elderly care.  

Research Interests

  • AI and Machine learning (knowledge-assisted deep learning)
  • Cross-system design and optimization (sensing, telecommunication (5G/6G) and robotics)
  • Computer vision and VR/AR for healthcare
  • AI verification for mission critical applications (robotic surgery)

PhD Project

Title: Deep Learning for Cross-System Optimisation

Future wireless communication system (Beyond 5G and 6G) would be expected to provide digital connectivity for scalable intelligent systems, such as cloud robots, vehicles, drones, etc, and support a wide range of future applications in transportation, industry, healthcare, etc. This 3.5-year PhD project is to exploit cross-system design approach to address the scalability challenges, where deep learning will be used. The goal is to jointly optimise the communication and robotics systems to provide excellent overall performance. The student is expected to use the state-of-the-art 5G and robotics platforms at University of Glasgow to verify the proposed solution. The student has opportunities to visit our industrial and academic partners for internship/exchange.
