HI! My name is Qingpeng Kong (孔庆芃 in Chinese, pronounced as Kǒng Qìng Péng or Kaw-ng Ching Puh-ng), and you can also call me Erica.🥰 I’m a senior undergraduate student at Northeastern University, China. I am currently serving as a visiting intern at the Sustainable Computing Laboratory (SCL) located at the University of Notre Dame, supervised by Prof. Yiyu Shi. I’m about to join the MIRACLE Laboratory at the University of Science and Technology of China, co-supervised by Prof. S. Kevin Zhou and Dr. Zihang Jiang. Previously, I closely worked with Dr. Xiaomeng Li at HKUST, Dr. Xiaowei Xu at Guangdong Provincial People’s Hospital, Dr. Wenfeng Song at Beijing Information Science and Technology University, and Prof. Tao Ren at Northeastern University.
My research primarily focuses on AI4Med, AI fairness, and computer vision. If you are interested in my work or want to collaborate, feel free to contact me via email: qpkong27 [at] 163 [dot] com. 🥳
