Hello, my name is Jiang Li (李江). I’m currently working toward the doctoral degree in intelligence science and technology at Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST). My research interests encompass affective computing (AC), multi-modal learning (MML), graph-based learning (GL), and Proteomics. If you are seeking any form of academic cooperation, please feel free to email me at lijfrank AT hust.edu.cn.

My scholarly journey commenced in July 2018 when I earned my bachelor’s degree in software engineering. Thereafter, I advanced my studies by pursuing a master’s degree in computer technology, which I completed in June 2021. I harbor great enthusiasm for scientific research in the field of artificial intelligence and have thus far contributed over 10 papers to academic journals or conferences.
