SHEN Jiaxing

I am currently an Assistant Professor with Division of Artificial Intelligence, School of Data Science, Lingnan University. I hold a B.E. degree in Software Engineering from Jilin University and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (supervised by Prof. Jiannong Cao). I was a visiting scholar at MIT Media Lab (hosted by Prof. Alex ‘Sandy’ Pentland).

My research centers on AIoT-empowered Human Dynamics, a field that strives to decode human behavior and deliver practical insights by weaving together cross-disciplinary knowledge with AI and IoT. Within this domain, my research interests include Human-centric Computing, Context-aware Computing, Mobile Computing, Data Mining, and Generative AI.

I have contributed over NA publications to esteemed journals including ACM TOIS, ACM IMWUT, IEEE TMC, IEEE TKDE, IEEE TPDS, and JSAC as well as prestigious conferences such as WWW, IEEE INFOCOM, and IEEE ICDM. I am honored to have received two best paper awards, one of which was presented at IEEE INFOCOM 2020, a leading conference in networking and communications.
