Zhiwu Huang

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the Vision, Learning and Control (VLC) group within the school of Electronics and Computer Science (ECS) at the University of Southampton . I mainly research generative computer vision and continual machine learning for artificial general intelligence. My currently focused machine learning methodologies include generative modelling, continual learning, and language prompting. The ultimate quest of my research is to empower machines with rational, emotional and imaginal intelligence.

I am looking for motivated and talented researchers/students to join our research group. Please have a look at the Openings and reach me if you are interested.
