Position: Assistant Professor
Categories: Mentors 2026/2027
Location: Aalborg University, Region Hovedstaden

Background

I am an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Aalborg University Copenhagen, with a PhD from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and postdoctoral experience at the University of Copenhagen. My research develops trustworthy AI pipelines, from privacy-aware data markets to privacy-preserving and verifiable ML. I have led healthcare-related AI projects with clinical and academic partners and supervise BSc/MSc students in AI, security, and data science.

Motivation

I would like to join the DDSA Mentoring Programme to contribute to the Danish data science community and support early-career researchers and students navigating research, academia, and career choices. Having moved from China to Denmark and from PhD to postdoc to assistant professor, I can share practical experience on publishing, interdisciplinary collaboration, grant development, supervision, and building an independent research profile in trustworthy AI.
