The Chinese University of Hong Kongedit

The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) is the current doctoral institution of Xinbao Qiao, who is affiliated with its Department of Information Engineering.¹

Programedit

Qiao's current program is Information Engineering within CUHK Engineering, advised by Angela Yingjun Zhang. The CUHK Graduate School describes the MPhil-PhD in Information Engineering as a research program for students pursuing fundamental and applied work in communications, networking, information processing, and security.² This program context is closely aligned with Qiao's current emphasis on data-centric ML and AI and networks, where learning algorithms are studied together with communication constraints, decentralized data access, distributed computation, and cross-silo evaluation.

Academic contextedit

The Department of Information Engineering was established in 1989 and describes itself as the first and only academic department of its kind in Hong Kong.³ Its stated scope includes the generation, transmission, storage, and processing of information in real-world applications.

Connection to Qiaoedit

Qiao's CUHK period begins after a master's phase focused on data-centric ML and machine unlearning. Under Angela Yingjun Zhang's supervision, the doctoral phase emphasizes data-centric ML, AI for Networks, and Networks for AI: efficient decentralized learning, collaborative evaluation across data silos, communication-aware reliability, and distributed methods such as Wasserstein barycenter computation.
