Professor Frank Wang

Five years after my PhD degree, I was promoted to a full professorship at the Cambridge Cranfield High Performance Computing Facility in 2004. I became the Head of School of Computing at the University of Kent in 2010. So far, I have attracted research grants from the EC/UK  government/industries that total £5m. I served as a panel member for the UK government EPSRC "e-Science" and "Hardware for Efficient Computing" programmes. I am a Fellow of British Computer Society (BCS). I am currently the Chairman of the UK and Ireland Chapter, IEEE Computer Society. 

I belong to the following research groups:

• Data Science Group

My Current Research Interests

• Brain-like Computer
• New Electronics & Memristor
• Cloud Computing & Big Data
• Deep Learning & AI2.0
• Neuromorphic Computing
• Data Science
• Green Computing

I teach Cloud Computing and Data Science at postgraduate level and Computing & the Cloud, Intelligent Systems, e-Commerce, Networking and Concurrent Programming at the undergraduate level, respectively. 

PhD Scholarships & Applications

The School of Computing offers PhD Scholarships. If you are interested in applying for a PhD Scholarship with me, please email me. Technically, I can supervise PhD studies in the following fields:

• Brain-like Computer (My typical papers: Adaptive Neuromorphic Architecture, Memristor Neural Networks, Real Memristor Found)
  
• Deep Learning & AI2.0 (My Keynote at Cambridge: Brain and Brain-Inspired Artificial Intelligence)
• Cloud Computing & Big Data [My typical papers: Entropy-Based Cloud, Multi-Dimensional Cloud Computing, Grid-Oriented Storage (IEEE Transaction on Computer)]
• Neuromorphic Computing (My typical papers: Adaptive Neuromorphic Architecture, Real Memristor Found)
• Data Science (My Keynote at Cambridge: Computing for Big Science)
• Memristor & New Electronics (My typical papers: Real Memristor Found, Fractional Memristor, Triangular Table of Circuit Elements)
• Green Computing (My typical papers: Memory Deduplication)
