About Wei

Professor Wei Zhong serves as Professor and Assistant Chair for Computer Science in the Division of Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of South Carolina Upstate in Spartanburg. He earned his Ph.D. in 2006 from Georgia State University. Zhong is actively involved in university governance as a member of the Faculty Senate, representing the Math and Computer Science division, and contributes to the editorial board of Scientific Research Publishing. His academic career at USC Upstate includes progression from Assistant Professor, as noted in earlier university catalogs, to his current professorial role. Zhong's teaching portfolio features computer science and artificial intelligence courses, where he incorporates practical, hands-on laboratories on technologies such as facial recognition, object detection for alert systems, and projects utilizing the ChatGPT API for integrating AI into applications like automated food ordering services. He stresses the importance of understanding AI's limitations, describing it as pattern-based memorization rather than true reasoning, and encourages students to critically analyze AI outputs for optimization and the underlying rationale.
