About Me

I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science and Engineering at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, advised by Prof. Qian Zhang.

My current research explores video-based human motion analysis and multimodal learning for balance and rehabilitation assessment. I am interested in connecting visual representations of movement with meaningful measures of physical function.

Before joining HKUST, I studied Mathematics at Harbin Institute of Technology, Weihai. My earlier research focused on dynamical systems, stability analysis, and control of complex networks. I also worked on diffusion- and neural-enhanced video streaming during an internship at Shenzhen University, supervised by Prof. Qihua Zhou.

Asynchronous Impulsive Stabilization of Large-Scale Networks Under Denial-of-Service Attacks

Dongsheng Xu, Ziming Zhang, Han Zheng, Jinpeng Yu, Choon Ki Ahn

TCSI 2026 IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems I: Regular Papers
Vol. 73, No. 3, pp. 2094–2106 · March 2026

DOI ↗IEEE Xplore ↗Download BibTeX
Research summary

We investigate exponential stability in stochastic large-scale networks under denial-of-service attacks. Node-dependent impulsive intervals and a balancing-function approach account for asynchronous impulses, with stability conditions derived using Lyapunov analysis and graph-theoretic methods.

Conceptual illustration of multiagent consensus

Consensus of Fractional-Order Fuzzy Multiagent Systems: Exploring Impulsive Security Protocols

Yao Xu, Ziming Zhang, Xiangpeng Xie, Reinaldo Martínez Palhares, Wenxue Li, Yongbao Wu

TCNS 2025 IEEE Transactions on Control of Network Systems
Vol. 12, No. 3, pp. 1869–1880 · September 2025

DOI ↗IEEE Xplore ↗Download BibTeX
Research summary

We study secure consensus in fractional-order fuzzy multiagent systems under denial-of-service attacks. Distributed impulsive protocols incorporate communication delays and switching topologies, with sufficient exponential-consensus conditions established through Lyapunov and average-impulsive-interval methods.
