Prof. Fei Yu, Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, Member of the Canadian Academy of Engineering, Professor of Shenzhen University, Executive Director of the Guangdong Provincial Laboratory of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Economy (Shenzhen), Fellow of the American Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (U.K.), Distinguished Reporter of the IEEE, Board Member of the IEEE In-Vehicle Technology Society, and Clarivate's Computer Science Domain " Global Highly Cited Scientist" (2019, 2020, 2021). He was the Chair of IEEE P2418.3/4 standard (Blockchain Applications in Agriculture and Connected Autonomous Vehicles). He has published more than 600 papers, including 28 ESI highly cited papers, 7 books, and 28 granted patents. 20,000+ citations in Google Scholar, H-index 87.

Prof. Fei Yu has long been engaged in research in the field of information and communication, and has achieved a series of innovative results with international influence in the direction of blockchain, everything intelligent, artificial intelligence and networked autonomous vehicles in the past 10 years. He proposed a service-oriented blockchain system (vdlt.io) with virtualization and separated management/control and execution. This is a paradigm shift from the existing "blockchain-oriented" distributed ledger system to the next-generation "service-oriented" distributed ledger system. Pioneering mathematical modeling of blockchain systems in terms of scalability, decentralization, latency and security provides a performance optimization framework for blockchain systems to improve data security and efficiency. The core technology of this blockchain has been successfully implemented and used in projects such as video anti-counterfeiting for the Canadian Department of National Defense, Beijing Metro Blockchain, and Blockchain Traceability for Which.com.
