About Myself
Dr. Yi Zhang received his Bachelor degree in Electronic Engineering in 2003, and then received his MS and PhD degrees in Pattern Recognition and Intelligent Control in 2006 and 2009 respectively. He completed all of his studies at Xidian University, where he also worked as an Associate Professor in 2010. He has also worked as a visiting scholar at the Department of Psychiatry & McKnight Brain Institute University of Florida in the United States from 2010-2011. He was appointed as Courtesy Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry College of Medicine University of Florida.
Research Area
Dr. Zhang’s research interests span several areas of medical image processing and analysis. His primary research interests are applying fMRI and neuroimaging to the fields of obesity (Bariatric Surgery), addiction (Heroin), and acupuncture (Mechanism). Because almost all of his projects involve analyzing information processing in the brain, Dr. Zhang has also worked on developing advanced signal processing methods for the analysis of dynamic, multivariate neurobiological data.
