Biography

Professor Zhu Xi earned a Bachelor's degree in Applied Physics from the Special Class for the Gifted Young (SCGY) at the University of Science and Technology of China and Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. Professor Zhu Xi has been engaged in experimental verification of AI and robotics technology for fundamental physics and chemistry theories. In late 2017, Professor Zhu joined School of Science and Engineering and the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (RAIL) at The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shenzhen. In 2018, he delivered China's first chemical experiment robot, AIR-Chem (Authentic Intelligent Robotics for Chemistry). Subsequently, he developed various intelligent laboratory architectures, including the MAOS (Materials Acceleration Operating System) operating system, the cloud-based chemical materials laboratory MAOSIC, the intelligent experiment system AIM (Authentic Intelligent Machine) with autonomous experimental data analysis capabilities, the hyper-converged autonomous organic continuous flow reaction infrastructure HAORI, the blockchain-integrated automatic experiment platform BiaeP, and more than 10 other intelligent laboratory architectures. Additionally, he developed AI-Supervisor system and the materials chemistry research and teaching metaverse system Mateverse. As an expert in the interdisciplinary field of AI robotics technology and chemical materials, he published the world's first book on the technical principles and scenario analysis of AI robotics technology in materials science, titled "AI and Robotic Technology in Materials and Chemistry Research, ISBN: 978-3-527-35428-3".
