Jinming Duan

Associate Professor, Turing Fellow and Fellow of the Higher Education Academy

University of Manchester

Jinming is now a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) within the Division of Informatics, Imaging and Data Sciences at the University of Manchester. He received his PhD from the University of Nottingham in 2018, followed by postdoctoral research at Imperial College London. In 2019, he joined the University of Birmingham as an Assistant Professor and was awarded Honorary Associate Professor in 2024. Jinming was named a Turing Fellow in 2021 by The Alan Turing Institute for his contributions to AI and data science. He is also a Fellow of the UK Higher Education Academy (HEA) and serves on an Associate Editor for several scientific journals, including IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and Learning Systems.

Jinming’s research includes neural nets, generative models, variational methods, partial/ordinary differential equations, and numerical optimisation, with applications to medical imaging computing and analysis. His work has appeared across multiple application publications, including proceedings such as IPMI, MICCAI, CVPR, ECCV, ICCV, NeurIPS, AAAI, etc, and journals such as The Lancet, Nature Machine Intelligence, TPAMI, TMI, TIP, etc. His research has been cited over 5,000 times on Google Scholar, with three papers recognised as Highly Cited by ESI. He holds five patents and has led or contributed to research projects with funding totalling around £1.2 million.

I am currently looking for outstanding, motivated PhD and visiting students. If you are interested please get in touch.
