As the founder of the Evolving Machine Intelligence (EMI) Group and co-founder of the EvoX Project, I am currently a tenured Associate Professor with the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech), China. Within the expansive realm of artificial intelligence (AI), my research delves into the intriguing study of Computational Intelligence, where the target is to deliver high-performance and intelligent computational approaches to optimization and modeling challenges in contemporary science and engineering.

I am the Founding Chair of IEEE Computational Intelligence Society (CIS) Shenzhen Chapter. I am serving as an Associated Editor/Editorial Board Member for several journals, including: ACM Transactions on Evolutionary Learning and Optimization, IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation, IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence, IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, IEEE Transactions on Artificial Intelligence, etc.

I am the recipient of the IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation Outstanding Paper Awards (2018, 2021), the IEEE CIS Outstanding PhD Dissertation Award (2019), the IEEE Computational Intelligence Magazine Outstanding Paper Award (2020), and the IEEE CIS Outstanding Early Career Award (2025). I have been featured as among the World’s Top 2% Scientists (2021 - 2023) and the Clarivate Highly Cited Researchers (2023). I am a Senior Member of IEEE.
