Dr. Xiaokun Zhang is an associate professor in School of Computing and Information Systems in Athabasca University in Canada since 2001. He earned his PhD in Northwestern Polytechnic University in China in 1995. He was Nortel research fellow and post-doctoral fellow from 1998 till 2001 in University of Calgary and visiting professor in University of Iowa in US in 1997. His recent research and teaching areas primarily focus on system analysis and dynamic modeling in heterogeneous cyber-physical-social interaction, data-driven cognitive computing and data analytics in decentralized real-time control and monitoring systems, environmental computing systems, and smart eLearning systems. He serves IEEE SMC (Systems, Man, & Cybernetics Society) technical committee on computer-supported cooperative, and program committees in various annual conferences in computing and information systems. He supervised post-doctoral fellow, graduate students’ essay, projects, and thesis.
