Guang-Ming Zhang

Guang-Ming Zhang received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in mechanical engineering from Xi'an Jiao Tong University, Xi'an, China, in 1996 and 1999, respectively. He joined the Institute of Acoustics, Nan Jing University, Nan Jing, China, in 1999. From 2001 to 2003, he worked at Signals and Systems Group, Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden as a Postdoctoral Fellow and then moved to the U.K. in 2003, where he is currently with Liverpool John Moores University, Liverpool. In the past, he has undertaken research in acoustic signal and image processing, ultrasonic data compression, nonlinear acoustic imaging, nonlinear acoustical field simulation, acoustical microimaging, surface acoustic waves motor, ultrasonic nondestructive evaluation of materials, and in the development of ultrasonic imaging systems. His current research interests are in sparse signal representations of acoustic signals in overcomplete dictionaries, advanced acoustical microimaging, fusion of ultrasound image and X-ray image for semiconductor applications, failure analysis of BGA and flip-chip solder bonds using mixed environment reliability testing, and 3-D ultrasonic data compression and FPGA implementations.
