Junhao Song,

I am currently a postgraduate student in Applied Computational Science and Engineering at Imperial College London. I received my BSc (Hons) in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) from Heriot-Watt University in 2023. I am immensely grateful to Dr. Wei Pang and Prof. Ron Petrick for their invaluable guidance and support throughout my undergraduate studies.

My research interests include computational intelligence, with a focus on applying machine learning techniques to optimise decision-making processes. I am also engaged in studying graph neural networks, aiming to enhance data interpretation in structured networks. I am committed to the development of general-purpose methods that are applicable to solving real-world problems. My current research focuses on building mathematical models to learn representations and develop solutions from the real world.
