Biography

Haibo Zhang is an Associate Professor in Computer Science at the University of Otago, New Zealand. He received the PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Adelaide, Australia and did the Postdoc in Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Sweden. His main research lies in wireless networks, high-performance computing, machine learning acceleration, and Internet of Things. He has published 100+ peer-reviewed papers, many of which were published in top-tier referred international journals such as IEEE and ACM Transactions including IEEE TMC, IEEE TPDS, IEEE TCAD, IEEE TKDE, IEEE TWC, and ACM TECS and proceedings of prestigious conferences including INFOCOM, IPDPS, ICPP, ICAPS, and PAKDD. He received the Best Paper Award at IEEE EmbeddedCom in 2013 and IEEE PDCAT in 2011. His research has been sponsored by the Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund, the Internet New Zealand Community Fund, and the University of Otago Research Grant.
Haibo has been actively engaged in the research community. He has served as a program chair or co-chair for 16 international conferences including PAAP 2022, HPSC 2021, CSCloud 2019, SmartCom 2017, ITNAC 2016, and ICESS 2014, and as a program committee member for 100+ international conferences including GLOBECOM, ICC, ICDCS, ICCCN and ICA3P. He is an Associate Editor for Elsevier journal of Internet of Things, International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems, and Elsevier Journal of ICT Express. He received the IEEE Outstanding Leadership Award in 2016.
