Faculty
Dr. Wang Zhenkun received the PhD degree in circuits and systems from Xidian University in December 2016. From February 2017 to January 2019, he worked as a research fellow at the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. His research was mainly about heuristic algorithm-assisted multiobjective optimization and its application in traffic scheduling and management of UAVs. As a key member, Dr. Wang participated in the projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, and Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. He has published more than ten papers in international journals and conferences. He served as the Associate Editor of Swarm and Evolutionary Computation (JCR Q1), as well as reviewers of IEEE TEVC, IEEE TCYB, IEEE TNNLS and other journals.
