Chunhua Shen (沈春華)
I am a Professor of Computer Science at University of Adelaide, leading the Statistical Machine Learning Group at School of Computer Science and Australian Institute for Machine Learning.
I held an ARC Future Fellowship from 2012 to 2016.
I teach and engage in research in the field of Statistical Machine Learning and Computer Vision.
These days I focus on Deep Learning. In particular, with tools from deep learning, my research contributes to understand the visual world around us by exploiting the large amounts of imaging data.
I received a PhD degree at University of Adelaide; then worked at the NICTA (National ICT Australia) computer vision program for about six years. From 2006 to 2011, I held an adjunct position at College of Engineering & Computer Science, Australian National University. I moved back to University of Adelaide in 2011.
I am a Chief Investigator and Project Leader of:
Australian Centre for Robotic Vision, receiving 20M $AU over 7 years from the federal government
Cyber Security Cooperative Research Centre, receiving 50M $AU over 7 years from the federal government
Geovision Cooperative Research Centre Project Intelligent vision, sensing and data fusion for mining and exploration
Places having been affiliated with:
University of Adelaide
NICTA, Canberra Research Laboratory
Australian National University, College of Engineering & Computer Science

Adelaide team achieved No. ④ on the ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge 2015 (Object detection with provided training data). See the leaderboard. The top 3 are Microsoft research, Qualcomm research and SenseTime.
Recruiting PhD students
I am actively recruiting PhD candidates. Applications should come through the University application system. Scholarships are available. Please check here for details.
For overseas students, please be aware of the University's minimum requirement for TOEFL or IELTS.
For students from China: University of Adelaide and the China Scholarship Council (CSC) have entered a collaborative arrangement to provide research opportunities to high-quality research students from China. Students selected as CSC scholarship recipients will be able to enrol in a University of Adelaide PhD program and undertake full-time study for up to 4 years.
