Qiuxia Lai | Communication University of China

About Me

I am an associate professor at Communication University of China. I received my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, the Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2021. Before that, I received the M.S. and B.E. degrees from the School of Automation, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in 2016 and 2013, respectively. I was an intern at Inception Institute of Artificial Intelligence, UAE from Jun. 2019 to Dec. 2019.
