About Yanchun Zhang
Professor Zhang is an international research leader in databases, data mining, health informatics, web information systems, and web services. He has published over 300 research papers in international journals and conferences proceedings, and authored/edited 20 books.
His research has been supported by a number of Australian Research Council (ARC) linkage projects and discovery project grants. His research has made significant impacts on society. For example, the multidisciplinary research into e-health has produced software systems and mapping tools to assist relevant government/industry organisations establish health needs, allowing the development of policy based on firm evidence. Some of the organisations assisted include:
- World Health Organization
- Tasmanian Department of Health and Human Services
- Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital
- Westgate General Practice Network, Melbourne.
Prof Zhang is the Editor-In-Chief of World Wide Web journal (Springer), and Health Information Science and Systems (Springer). He is Chairman of the International Web Information Systems Engineering Society (WISE Society.)
He won the VU's Medal for Excellence in Research in 2005, and the VU Vice Chancellor's Peak Award for Research and Research Training in Research Supervision in 2011, respectively.
He was a member of Australian Research Council's College of Experts (2008-2010), and serves as expert panel-member at various international funding agencies such as National Natural Science Fund of China (NSFC), 'National 1000 Talents Program' of China, the Royal Society of New Zealand Marsden Fund.
