مدرس ارشد
Dr Jiacheng Tan is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Computing at the University of Portsmouth , where he has been a faculty member since 2002. He is actively involved in research and PhD supervision, with a strong focus on intelligent systems and robotics. Dr Tan earned his BEng in Mechanical Engineering from Jilin University of Technology (1983), an MSc in Mechatronics from Xidian University (1989), and a PhD in Computer Graphics from De Montfort University (2001). Prior to joining Portsmouth, he served as a Visiting Researcher in robotics at the University of Salford (1996–1997) and a Research Fellow in artificial intelligence at the Open University (2000–2002). His research centers on computer vision, intelligent robot control, 3D graphics, and human-robot interaction . He investigates how robots can understand and act upon natural language commands by grounding spatial relations, recognizing objects, and reasoning about tasks in unstructured environments. His work integrates fuzzy logic, knowledge engineering, and machine learning to enable robots to learn from demonstrations and interact meaningfully with humans. The trends in his publications reveal a consistent focus on robotics and intelligent systems , evolving from early work in virtual environments and telerobotics to recent contributions in cloud-based scientific visualization and machine learning applications in astrophysics. His interdisciplinary research spans computer science, control theory, and cognitive systems. Dr Tan has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided text. He serves as a PhD supervisor and has contributed to multiple research projects, including the development of integrated AI frameworks for robotic manipulation. While specific grant details are not listed, his collaborations and publications suggest active involvement in funded research initiatives. He has worked with researchers across institutions on topics ranging from scientific visualization to intelligent interfaces. Dr Tan is affiliated with the Computational Intelligence Research Group at the University of Portsmouth. His lab work involves developing virtual environments, symbolic representations of 3D scenes, and natural language interfaces for robot control, supporting both academic research and practical applications in automation.
