Changchen Zhao

Changchen Zhao recieved his Ph.D. from Beihang University, Beijing China and National Chung Hsing University, Taichung Taiwan in 2018, respectively. He is now an Associate Professor at School of Computer Science, Hangzhou Dianzi University. His research interests include visual non-contact physiological monitoring  (pulse, heart rate, blood pressure, blood oxygen saturation) and cardiovascular disease detection. In the past five years, he has published 8 SCI journal papers as the first author or corresponding author, including one highly cited and hot paper, 9 international conference papers.
