Dr Hantao Liu
Detail your services
I am a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in Computer Science at Cardiff University. I graduated from The University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom with a master’s thesis on computer vision and signal processing. I subsequently worked in the Department of Computer Science at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), The Netherlands for my PhD on image computing and human visual perception. My PhD research was funded by Philips Research Laboratories. My research interests sit at the intersection of visual signal processing, computer vision, machine learning, human visual perception, and human-computer interaction.
Dr Justin Spinney
Detail your services
I am an urban cultural geographer and economic sociologist broadly interested in the intersections between mobility, embodiment, environmental sustainability and technology. These interests are underpinned by a political-economic focus on the production and maintenance of power and inequality and the application of post-structuralist theories including Social Practice Theory, Science and Technology Studies, Non Representational Theory and Actor Network Theory. My research progresses this agenda through four intersecting themes: (i) the governance of mobility and smart cities; (ii) affect, emotion and sensory geographies; (iii) visual culture, design and technology; and (iv) mobile methods.
Dr Zhangming Wu

His research aims to innovate the next generation smart lightweight structures, with conducting broad research activities in the areas of structural mechanics, optimal design, dynamics, additive manufacturing, smart sensing technique and experimental testing etc. The research outcomes are expected to have extensive benefits or can directly apply in aircraft and space structures, civil engineering, offshore wind energy, and biomedical devices etc.
Dr Abhishek Kundu
Abhishek is a lecturer in mechanical engineering, working with the Applied and Computational Mechanics research group. His primary research interests are Uncertainty Quantification (UQ), Structural Health Monitoring, Active control of vibration/noise and computational modelling + digital twin. UQ is necessary in design, calibration and performance prediction of engineering systems to ensure clean and fail-safe operation. Structural Health Monitoring is where intelligent monitoring systems for structures integrated within an IOT framework help in the development and operation of smart structures. Active control of vibration/noise is essential to ensure robust, real-time cancellation of structural vibration/noise under changing conditions. Computational modelling and digital twin enables simulation of a products’ operation in a virtual environment which captures design features and operational conditions.
