Ziwei Wang 王紫薇
I am a Ph.D. candidate at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, supervised by Prof. Dongrui Wu. My research focuses on deep learning and biomedical engineering, with particular interests in brain foundation models and brain signal generation.
I was selected for the Youth Student Fundamental Research Project from NSFC and the Doctoral Student Program of the Young S&T Talents Cultivation Project from CAST, with a total funding of 340,000 RMB (~48,000 USD).
EEG decoding under data scarcity and distribution shift, including cross-subject, cross-dataset, cross-modality, and cross-species transfer.
8 first-author papers, including 6 CAS Q1/Top journals such as National Science Review, IEEE JBHI, Neural Networks, and Knowledge-Based Systems.
National Scholarship ×3, Ant Group InTech Scholarship, IEEE CIS Scholarship, Merit Student Pacesetter at HUST, and Huanau Top-10 BCI Awards in China.
Reviewer for IEEE TFS, IEEE JBHI, IEEE TNSRE, KBS, IEEE TBIOM, JNE, Scientific Reports, ICONIP, and IEEE SMC; recognized as an IOP Trusted Reviewer.
