Hujun Yin received the BEng degree in Electronic Engineering and the MSc degree in Signal Processing, both from Southeast University, and the PhD degree in Neural Networks from University of York. He joined the University of Manchester (UMIST before the merge) in 1996 as a Post-doc Research Associate, was appointed a Lecturer in 1998 and subsequently promoted to Senior Lecturer, Reader and Professor. He had been the Head of Business Engagement in AI and Data for the Faculty of Science and Engineering, 2019-2023.
His main research interests include AI, machine learning, deep learning, image recognition, and data analytics. Recent projects focus on developing deep learning based vision systems for recycling industries, advanced machine learning for multispectral image analysis for early detection of plant viral infection, and data-driven surrogate models in engineering design and simulation. He has been a Turing Fellow of the ATI (the Alan Turing Institue) 2018-2023, a senior member of the IEEE since 2003, a member of the EPSRC Peer Review College since 2006, and a member of the UKRI Talent Panel College since 2023. He has been the Chair of the IEEE CIS UK Ireland Chapter since 2023. He leads a team of 12 researchers working in a wide range of vision and machine learning challenges with strong emphasis on real-world medical, practical and industrial applications.
He gave a plenary talk to AIACT 2022, WSOM+ 2022 SOCO 2017, HAIS 2013, IEEE IST 2012, CBIC 2011 and HAIS 2008 and was a tutorial speaker at WCCI 2008 (Title: Nonlinear Dimensionality Reduction and Data Visualisation). He was chair of Special Session on Principal Manifolds and Data Visualisation at IJCNN 2007, and organiser of Biologically Inspired Information Fusion Workshop, Surrey, 22-23 August 2006. He gave a talk on "The Self-Organising Maps for Data Visualisation and Manifold Mapping" to Workshop on Principal Manifolds, Leicester, 24-26 August 2006.
He has been an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computational Intelligence since 2022, IEEE Transactions on Cybernetics, 2015-2023, IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks, 2006-2009. He had also been a member of Editorial Board of International Journal of Neural Systems from 2005 till 2020.
