Doctoral research in AI and networksedit
PhD student, 2026-present. Advisor: Angela Yingjun Zhang, The Chinese University of Hong Kong.
Qiao's current doctoral work is centered on AI and networks. The research asks how learning systems should operate when data, computation, and evaluation signals are distributed across clients, institutions, or networked infrastructure. A recent focus is distributed Wasserstein barycenter computation: constructing shared distributional references from local empirical measures without assuming that all raw data can be pooled.

Research on data-centric ML systemsedit
M.Eng. / master's research student, 2023-03 to 2025-12. Advisor: Meng Zhang, Zhejiang University.
This line of work developed theoretically grounded approaches for data influence attribution, machine unlearning, and data-centric trade-offs in trustworthy AI. It also included cloud-edge collaborative human-space healthcare, where multimodal video, audio, and sensor signals were considered for real-time monitoring.
