Joey Tianyi Zhou (周天异)

I am a Principal Scientist, an investigator with the A*STAR Centre for Frontier AI Research (CFAR), Singapore. I am also holding an appointment as an Adjunct faculty (Assco. Prof.) at the National University of Singapore (NUS).
I obtained my Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), SG, in 2015. I had been a snr. research engineer at Sony US Research Center, San Jose, USA before.

My research focus is on how to enhance Machine Learning Efficiency and Robustness. An ideal machine learning model shall : (1) be resource-efficient for both inference and training, including computational-efficient and data-efficient; (2)be safe to various perturbations, distribution shifts, and adversarial attacks.

I am always actively searching for talents interested in the intersections of machine learning, hardware, and quantum computing. The following scholarships will be funded by A*STAR and your Ph.D degree can be obtained from any Singapore Universities (e.g., NUS, NTU, SMU, STUD). If you want to visit me during your studies, you may try to apply joint Ph.D scholarship ARAP, or CFAR internship scheme CIARE, ARIA. I can host the visiting students (e.g., CSC programe from China) at NUS or A*STAR CFAR. Please feel free to contact me.
  • PhD Scholarships: SINGA, ARAP, ACIS, AISG. I will offer additional allowance on the top of any scholarship you have.
  • Master and undergraduate Scholarships: SIPGA
  • Interns: CIARE, ARIA.
Successful candidates will spend their time in both Manchester (years 1 and 4) and Singapore (years 2-3) of the PhD Programme and funding covers tuition fees, stipend and travel allowances. The student will be jointly supervised by Prof. Tingting Mu (U Manchester) and Prof. Joey Zhou (A*STAR/NUS).
New! Call for participation (available now): LOW-POWER COMPUTER VISION CHALLENGE 2023 In association with 2023 Embedded Systems Week
New! Call for interns (available now): I am always looking for talented students to join my team. Ph.D. scholarships or official research positions will be prioritized for the excellent performers.
New! Call for research associates/fellows (available now): I need to hire research associates/fellows in NLP/ML/CV/hardware/quantum AI domains. Strong coding and problem-solving skills are preferable.
Adjunct Appointment in NUS
You are always welcome to my classes.
