Dr Ce Zhang
Lecturer in GeoSpatial Data ScienceProfile
I am a Lecturer in Geospatial Data Science based in Centre of Excellence in Environmental Data Science (CEEDS; http://ceeds.ac.uk/), joint venture between Lancaster University and UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology. I have strong expertise in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Deep Learning, and the application of these techniques in geospatial data science and remote sensing. My research is, therefore, highly innovative and transdisciplinary, driven by the ambition to tackle the most pressing environmental challenges of our time.
Research Interests
1. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (Deep Learning)
2. Geospatial Data Mining and Modelling (Geospatial Data Science)
3. Landscape Pattern Analysis (Vector-based and Raster-based GIS)
4. Remotely Sensed Image Analysis and their Applications
Current Teaching
My teaching mainly involves:
- First year undergraduate module: LEC.115 - Geographical Skills in a Changing World
- Third year undergraduate module: LEC.300 - Dissertation
- Masters level module: LEC.402 - Geoinformatics
- Masters level module: DS.591 - MSc Data Science Dissertation
PhD Supervision Interests
I am happy to supervise exceptional PhD students with strong background in geospatial science, AI, data science, computer science, and/or statistics. If you are interested in my research, please do not hesitate to contact me via email: c.zhang9@lancaster.ac.uk. Please contact me with an idea of what you want to work with and how that would be relevant to my research topics. Once you know this, send me such details in the form of a concise research proposal (less than 2000 words) along with your CV (including previous degrees and grades, publications, awards etc.).
