Biography

Kun Qian is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California San Diego, working with Professor Xinyu Zhang. He received his Ph.D. from the School of Software at Tsinghua University in January 2019, under the supervision of Professor Yunhao Liu and Professor Zheng Yang. Before that, he received his B.E. in Software Engineering in 2014 from the School of Software at the Tsinghua University.

I will be joining the University of Virginia as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and a member of the Cyber-Physical Systems Link Lab, starting in Spring 2024!
