Chunhua Shen is a Chair Professor at Zhejiang University, a position he has held since 2022. His research sits at the intersection of artificial intelligence and computer vision, centering on foundation models for reliable deployment in diverse, real-world open-set scenarios --- a challenge typically addressed through zero-shot inference. His work spans generative AI, perception systems for autonomous robotics, and AI-accelerated scientific discovery.

Prior to joining Zhejiang University, Professor Shen spent 20 years in Australia, serving as Full Professor at the University of Adelaide (now Adelaide University), with appointments across academia and industry at Amazon Australia, National ICT Australia (NICTA), and the Australian National University in Canberra. In 2012, he was awarded an Australian Research Council (ARC) Future Fellowship in recognition of his research contributions. His Google Scholar profile records more than 110,000 citations, with an H-index of 150.
