Brief Introduction:

Dr. Xin Zhang is an Associate Professor and Associate Research Fellow at Tianjin University. His research centers on brain-computer interfaces and smart functional assessment, non-stationary signal acquisition and analysis, machine learning and its biomedical applications. He receives his Ph.D. in Engineering Science from Simon Fraser University, Canada, under the supervision of Prof. Carlo Menon (Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, Professor at ETH Zurich), and holds M.Eng. and B.Eng. degrees from Southeast University and Shandong University, respectively. He has led numerous national and provincial research projects, including the NSFC Young Scientists Fund and sub-projects of the National Key R&D Program. As a core inventor, his patented technology for quantifying motor function using EEG has been granted in the United States, Japan and Canada, which has been successfully transferred to Health Tech Connex Inc. as core technologies for Neurocatch®, and won the 2024 International Golden Bridge Award (Medical Equipment Category). He has published several key journal papers in top-tier journals such as IEEE TNSRE and Journal of Neural Engineering, and is deeply involved in international standardization for brain-computer interfaces, currently serving as Convenor of ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 43 AG 4 and as an expert on multiple international committees.
