Dr Shi's research focuses on cybersecurity, explainable AI, deep learning, and digital signal processing, with applications in communication security and audio systems. His work bridges theoretical algorithm development with practical implementation through EU-funded projects like CLOUDSCREEN and industry collaborations for 5G audio coding, emphasizing post-quantum privacy and robust deepfake detection.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a cohesive trajectory toward secure and interpretable AI systems, particularly in audio deepfake detection under communication degradations, IoT security via federated learning, and brain-computer interfaces for autonomous vehicles. These works consistently integrate signal processing fundamentals with cutting-edge machine learning to solve real-world engineering challenges.
Scientific recognition includes:
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy
As Co-Investigator, Dr Shi secured an EPSRC grant on post-quantum privacy for digital healthcare and an industry grant for 5G immersive audio coding. He actively supervises PGR students developing deep learning solutions for cybersecurity and autonomous systems, while directing multiple MSc programs and delivering guest lectures at institutions including Nanjing University.
Research activities are conducted within the Institute for Digital Technologies framework, leveraging close industry partnerships to translate theoretical advances into practical applications for communication systems and security infrastructure.
