Ziyang Wang

I am a Research Associate at The Alan Turing Institute. Prior to this, I completed my DPhil (PhD) degree in Computer Science at the University of Oxford in 2024, MRes (Master of Research) degree with distinction at Imperial College London in 2018, and BEng (Bachelor of Engineering) degree at Xi’an Jiaotong University in 2017.

Since 2021, I have published over 35 papers as first/corresponding author and 5 papers as co-author [Link] [Link]. The code for all my first-author papers is available on GitHub [Link], with 15 repositories and over 900 stars. I have received over 900 citations only for my first-author papers on Google Scholar. I also actively review for over 300 submissions [Link] [Link] for Nature Communications, IEEE TPAMI, IEEE TIP, IEEE TMI, MedIA, ICLR, ICRA, and IROS, among others. I am a DAAD 2024 AInet Fellow, OYSS 2024 Fellow, received the MICCAI DEMI Best Paper Award, and IEEE SPS Travel Grant.
