Xulong Zhang

Executive Director

Xulong Zhang is a Ph.D. in computer application technology from Fudan University under the supervision of Wei Li. His research during the doctoral period focused on music artificial intelligence, specifically on singing voice detection and singer identification under the sub-topics of music information retrieval. Currently, he work as a senior algorithm researcher at PAT. His main project involves researching technology and applications related to text-to-speech and AI music.

He has served as an external corporate mentor for the University of Science and Technology of China since 2021, where he have jointly supervised seven graduate students. Additionally, starting from 2023, he hold the position of external mentor at Tsinghua Shenzhen International Graduate School. He serves as a member of the Federal Data and Federal Intelligence Special Committee, and he was selected for the 2023 Youth Project of the Shanghai Oriental Talent Program. He actively participate in professional organizations and scholarly communities, serving as a reviewer of well-known Jounals and Conferences such as MM, TASLP, ICASSP and EMNLP. He is also a member of CAA (ID:E1412095260M), CCF (ID:N7554M), ACM (ID:5318755) and IEEE (ID:98053721).
