ZHAO Rui

ZHAO Rui is a Part-Time Lecturer at the School of Computing, National University of Singapore, where he teaches courses in business analytics and applied machine learning. Concurrently, he serves as the Head of Data & Quant at Pluang. He holds a Ph.D. from Nanyang Technological University and a B.Eng. from Southeast University, establishing a foundation in both theoretical and applied technical domains.

His research spans interdisciplinary domains including:

• Core computational fields: Data Science, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence with applications in Text Mining and Smart Manufacturing
• Industry-specific applications: Quantitative Finance and FinTech solutions
• Environmental informatics: Remote sensing and modeling of soil properties, carbon cycles, and land-use changes

Publication analysis reveals three primary research arcs: 1) Foundational machine learning methods for document classification and industrial monitoring; 2) Geospatial modeling of soil properties using remote sensing across China; and 3) Ecosystem-scale studies of carbon dynamics and climate impacts. Recent work shows increasing focus on environmental applications while maintaining methodological rigor in AI.

He leads courses including BT4012 Fraud Analytics and BT5153 Applied Machine Learning for Business Analytics. While the text mentions no current students, advised projects, or research laboratories, his industry role at Pluang suggests active engagement with fintech applications.
