Profile

Dr Pengfei Fan is a Lecturer in Data Science and AI at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL). He earned his PhD in from QMUL in 2021, with a thesis focused on learning-based imaging through dynamic scattering media, under the supervision of Prof Lei Su and Prof Kaspar Althoefer. He received both his Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science and Technology from Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China. From 2022 to 2024, Pengfei was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Intelligent Science at Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University, China. Prior to that, he was a Research Associate at the School of Electronic and Optical Engineering, Nanjing University of Science and Technology, collaborating with Prof Chao Zuo in the Smart Computational Imaging Lab between 2021-2022. In 2020, he was a Visiting Researcher in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, China.

Pengfei is a DERI Fellow, a Committee Member of the QMUL-BUPT Joint Teaching and Learning Centre (JTLC) and Programme Director for Information and Computational Science at Queen Mary School Hainan (QMSH). He is also a member of the IEEE, IET, and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA).
