Biography
Prof. Hubert P. H. Shum is a Professor of Visual Computing and the Director of Research of the Department of Computer Science at Durham University, specialising in modelling spatio-temporal information with responsible AI. He has authored over 180 research publications in the fields of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning and Biomedical Engineering, covering major venues such as CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, SIGGRAPH, MICCAI, IEEE TVCG, IEEE TIP and IEEE TMM.
His research is fundamental to many disciplines, facilitating him to engage in multidisciplinary research related to healthcare, space technology and art. He is a Co-Founder and the Co-Director of Durham University Space Research Centre, a Fellow of the Wolfson Research Institute for Health and Wellbeing, and a Steering Group Member of the Centre for Visual Arts and Culture. He is an Advisory Board member of TORUS, a £6 mil EPSRC project supporting Parkinson's disease patients with sensing technologies.
To develop his team, he has led research projects as the Principal Investigator awarded by EPSRC, the Ministry of Defence, the Royal Society and Innovate UK. He has also been a Co-Investigator in NortHFutures, a £4.17 mil EPSRC project to establish a new digital health hub in North East England. These have facilitated him to have supervised more than 30 PhDs, recruited multiple Post-doctoral Researchers, and collaborated with international researchers from the UK, France, China, Japan and India.
To engage the academic and industrial networks, he has chaired international conferences such as Pacific Graphics, BMVC, ACM SIGGRAPH/Eurographics SCA and ACM SIGGRAPH MIG. Contributing to the research community, he has served as an Associate Editor for the Computer Graphics Forum, a Guest Editor for the International Journal of Computer Vision, and a Program Committee member in over 20 conferences such as Eurographics and Pacific Graphics. He also has also served in the EPSRC Peer Review College and has frequently review grant proposals from EPSRC, Mitacs, ANR, NSERC, FCT.
