Dr. Zhiwen Yu is currently a professor at the School of Computer Science, Northwestern Polytechnical University, P. R. China. He received his B.Eng, M.Eng and Ph.D degree of Engineering in computer science and technology in 2000, 2003 and 2005 respectively from the Northwestern Polytechnical University. He has worked as a research fellow at the Academic Center for Computing and Media Studies, Kyoto University, Japan from Feb. 2007 to Jan. 2009, and a post-doctoral researcher at the Information Technology Center, Nagoya University, Japan in 2006-2007. He has been a visiting researcher at the Context-Aware Systems Department, Institute for Infocomm Research (I2R), Singapore from Sep. 2004 to May 2005. He has been an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow at the Mannheim University, Germany since Nov. 2009.

    He is the Associate Editor of the International Journal of  Multimedia and Ubiquitous Engineering (IJMUE) and International Journal of Technology Enhanced Learning (IJTEL), and Editorial Board of the International Journal of Computing & Information Technology (IJCIT) and Journal of Information Processing Systems (JIPS). He serves as the guest editor of ACM Multimedia Systems Journal, Personal and Ubiquitous Computing (Springer), Multimedia Tools and Applications (Springer), Pervasive and Mobile Computing (Elsevier), and Cybernetics and Systems (Taylor & Francis). He is the Co-Organizer of the 2009 International Workshop on Personalization in Mobile and Pervasive Computing (PMPC 2009), Italy. He is the Program Chair of the 7th International Conference on Ubiquitous Intelligence and Computing (UIC 2010), China, the International Workshop on Information Fusion and Dissemination in Wireless Sensor Networks (SensorFusion'07/09), and the IEEE International Workshop on Smart Homes for Tele-Health (SmarTel'07/09).  He serves as the Publicity Chair of the 8th Annual IEEE  International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2010), Germany, and the 6th International Conference on Pervasive Computing (Pervasive 2008), Australia. He has also served as PC member for a number of conferences, e.g., IEEE PerCom, DEXA, EuroITV, MMSP, IEEE ICPS, KES, ACM SAC, IEEE AINA, EUC, ICOST, GPC, ICESS, MUE, MoMM, CARPE, IE, etc. 

    Dr. Yu has published around 70 scientific papers in refereed journals and conferences, e.g., ACM Computing Surveys, IEEE Pervasive Computing, IEEE Communications Magazine, User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction, PerCom, IUI, etc. His research interests cover pervasive computing, context-aware systems, human-computer interaction, intelligent information technology, and personalization. Zhiwen Yu is a member of the IEEE and IEEE Computer Society, CCF (China Computer Federation), and CCF Pervasive Computing Technical Committee. He received a Humboldt Fellowship in 2008, the UIC 2009 Best Paper Award, and the Excellent Doctoral Dissertation Award from China Computer Federation in 2006.
