Dr Ning Zhao
Assistant Professor in Railway System Engineering (Autonomous Trains) at University of Birmingham

Joining the Conference Ambassador Network aligns perfectly with my mission to promote Birmingham and the West Midlands as a global hub for AI-enabled railway technologies. As an academic working on autonomous trains and perception systems, I see conferences as a unique opportunity to attract global talent, foster collaboration, and showcase our pioneering research. I am committed to bringing international events in intelligent transportation and smart infrastructure to the region, advancing both innovation and investment. Championing the region through this network is a natural extension of my academic, industrial, and civic engagement.
