Prof. Guobin Zhu, male, born in 1965, Rugao city of Jiangsu province. He graduated from the Department of Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing of Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping in 1986 with a bachelor's degree. In 1995, he graduated from the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering of Wuhan Technical University of Surveying and Mapping, and obtained a master's degree. He graduated from Ben Gurion University of the Negev in Israel in 2004 with a Ph.D. (instructor: Prof. Shaul Krakover, Prof. Dan G. Blumberg). He is currently the head and faculty of the Department of Spatial Information and Digital Technology at the School of Remote Sensing and Information Engineering of Wuhan University.

He has long been engaged in teaching and research in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing, Geographic Information Systems, Software Engineering, and mobile internet. As an instructor teacher, he lectured on "Software Project Management" and "System Level Programming" for more than 10 years. Along the research time track, he mainly focused on 1) the multi-scale Remote Sensing image analysis methods and modeling study based on topological invariant; 2) study of the spatial information service network based on Game Theory; and 3) the geographic information service technics based on granular computing. Currently, he is committed to researching the micro-service back-end technology and the widget front-end technology for the Internet, and is applied to the construction of large-scale geographic information system engineering and various spatio-temporal information cloud platforms.

His research focuses on intelligent Remote Sensing image analysis and understanding, semantic integration of Remote Sensing and GIS, and Software Engineering applications. Since 1996, he has hosted more than 20 research and development projects, and the project funds have accumulated more than 20 million yuan. The scientific research achievements have won 9 national, provincial and ministerial-level science and technology awards, including 1 national second prize for scientific and technological progress, 2 provincial and ministerial first prizes, 5 provincial and ministerial second prizes, and 1 provincial and ministerial third prize. In 2014, he was entitled as the “Huanghe Yingcai” (a talent program) in Wuhan. In 2016, he was entitled as the “Double Talents” (also a talent program) in Yangzhou City, Jiangsu Province. In 2018, he was honourably entitled as “Hubei Industry Professor”. He has published more than 70 papers in domestic and international journals and conferences. In 2013, he was awarded the title of “Advanced Individual for Teaching and Educating” by Wuhan University. In 2015, he was awarded “Excellent Navigator for Students” by Wuhan University and in 2016 he was awarded the title of “Outstanding Communist Party Member of Wuhan University”.
