Xuefeng Jiang (蒋雪枫)

I am a forth-year PhD candidate at Institute of Computing Technology, Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China. Before that, I received my Bachelor degree from Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications in the summer of 2021.

I am advised by Prof. Min Liu, associate Prof. Yuwei Wang and associate Prof. Sheng Sun, in the Mobile Computing Team. My research interest mainly includes distributed ML system, data quality, cyber security, AutoDrive and various deep learning applications. I am always open to discussions, please feel free to contact me!

I am on the job market for 2025, and I'm currently seeking for suitable working and intern chances. Here's my resume. Welcome to contact me!
