Hello, I am Jun Zhu

I have many years of experience with solving data-intensive streaming analytics problems by designing and implementing fullstack software solutions for real-time data processing, analysis and visualization. Nowadays, I am passionate about Metaverse and build 3D graphics applications (including XR) powered by artificial intelligence.

Selected Projects

Realtime 3D Tomography

RECASTX is a GPU-accelerated software written in modern C++ for real-time 3D tomographic reconstruction and visualization. It also serves as the critical pillar for building a smart data acquisition system for online data reduction.

Extended Reality (XR)

I am leveraging emerging XR technologies to develop immersive environments for interactive simulation and data visualization, which has the potential to deliver unprecedented user experiences and drive innovation.

Digital Twins

We leverage machine learning to bring the destructive diagnostics online virtually. Our work also showcases how to combine virtual and real diagnostics in order to provide heterogeneous and reliable mixed diagnostics for scientific facilities.

Realtime Streaming Analytics

EXtra-foam creates the first successful story for fast streaming data analysis and visualization at scientific user facilities in the era of big data. It has been providing 24/7 services to users since 2018 at European XFEL.

Heterogenous Computing

We implemented and benchmarked one of the CNN architectures considered at the European XFEL on different platforms. The results confirmed a superior performance of the Versal ACAP in terms of both latency and throughput.

SCADA Control Framework

Karabo is a large-scale SCADA control system developed by European XFEL. It distinguishes itself from established, earlier-generation systems by its modern, event-driven paradigm.

Simulation and Optimization

LISO is a library which provides a unified interface for numerical simulations, experiments and data management for linear accelerators in the era of big data and artificial intelligence.
