Dr. Qin Huiling is an Assistant Professor and Doctoral Supervisor at the Institute of Artificial Intelligence and Future Networks, Beijing Normal University. Since 2017 she has been studying under Professor Yu Zheng — a pioneer in urban computing and IEEE Fellow — focusing on spatiotemporal data mining and urban computing. Around the theme of spatiotemporal representation learning she has published in ICML, KDD, AAAI, TKDE and other top venues, and holds two national invention patents. She is the principal investigator of one NSFC Youth Project and a co-investigator on several national programmes. She has held research positions at Microsoft Research Asia, DiDi Big Data Research and JD Technology, working on traffic-signal optimisation, hazardous-chemical violation detection and address parsing.
Each year she takes 2 Master and 1 Doctoral students. Prospective applicants are welcome to email a CV to the address above.
