Profile

Dr Zeyu Fu
Lecturer in Computer Vision
Background
I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Computer Vision at Department of Computer Science, University of Exeter.
Before that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Engineering Science, University of Oxford, and was a member of Oxford Biomedical Image Analysis (BioMedIA) group, advised by Prof Alison Noble and Dr Michael Suttie. I worked on a NIH funded project which is conjunction with Collaborative Initiative on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders (CIFASD), to develop a fully automated, objective evaluation of facial features associated with FASD, utilizing 3D surface modelling, deep learning and shape analysis. I also worked on an ERC funded project named Perception Ultrasound by Learning Sonographic Experience (PULSE), which aims to develop multi-modal machine learning and computer vision systems that can model the sonograher’s expertise to reduce the need for highly trained ultrasound operators.
Before Oxford I was a research assistant at the School of Engineering, Newcastle University, advised by Prof Satnam Dlay. I worked on a MRC-CiC sponsored project to apply cutting edge non-contact ocular imaging, and machine/deep learning techniques to find a means of improving diagnosis of the most common medical complication of pregnancy, pre-eclamptic toxaemia. At the same institution, I obtained the Ph.D. degree in signal processing and machine learning and was a member of Signal Processing and AI research group, advised by Prof Jonathon Chambers and Dr Mohsen Naqvi. I worked on a DSTL & EPSRC funded project of ‘Signal Processing Solutions for the Networked Battlespace’ and was part of the LSSCN Contortium of University Defence Research Collaboration (UDRC), where I developed novel data association algorithms for multiple human tracking in video.
