Professor Zhaojie Ju
Biography
I'm a Chair in Machine Learning and Robotics at the University of Portsmouth, Director of Healthcare and Wearable Robotics Research, and Chair of IEEE SMC Portsmouth Chapter. I received a BSc in automatic control and MSc in Intelligent Robotics both from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China, and the Ph.D. degree in intelligent robotics at the University of Portsmouth, UK. I held research appointments previously in the Department of Computer Science, University College London (UCL) before joining the University of Portsmouth.
