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. In this wiki the CUHK page functions as an institutional context page rather than a general encyclopedia article: it records why the university matters to Qiao's research biography, how the information-engineering program frames his current work, and where the doctoral phase sits in relation to earlier training at Zhejiang University and Shandong University.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 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. That framing is broader than conventional computer science: it gives institutional room for research that connects machine learning, data systems, communication networks, and trustworthy deployment.

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 shifts the center of gravity toward networked AI systems: distributed computation for Wasserstein barycenters, efficient decentralized learning, collaborative evaluation across data silos, and reliability questions that arise when training data are selected, removed, or synthesized. The page is therefore linked from the biography infobox as the sole current affiliation, while past institutions remain under education and research experience.
