Zihao is qualified in both Computer Science (B.Eng.) and Law (LL.B.) in 2017 from Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications, China. He also studied at University of California, Irvine, USA. He holds LL.M. in Intellectual Property and Digital Economy from University of Glasgow. For his PhD research at the same institution, he delved into online algorithmic pricing and data protection law in both the EU and China, examining them from social, technological, and legal perspectives.

Zihao's research interests concentrate on the relationship between law, data and information technology. Recently, his research mainly covers data protection law, AI and regulation, blockchain and law, Internet and intellectual property, and electronic evidence forensics. His research has been published in top-tier interdisciplinary academic journals, conference proceedings and books, including Nature Machine Intelligence, Computer Law and Security Review, IEEE Communications Magazine, IEEE International Conference on Communications, and European Data Protection Law Review. He has also been invited to speak at several prestigious universities, including the University of Cambridge and King’s College London (KCL).

Zihao is also a member of the CREATe Centre, co-founder of Scottish Law and Innovation Network (SCOTLIN) and the founding president of IP Society in University of Glasgow. Drawing from his interdisciplinary and international expertise, Zihao's research seeks to explore the most effective way for regulating AI, data and other technologies, ensuring the protection of individuals in the increasingly widespread application of big data, machine learning and AI era.
