Overview

Background

Yadan Luo is currently a Senior Lecturer with Data Science Discipline, School of EECS, The University of Queensland. She received her BSc degree from University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, and her PhD in Computer Science from School of ITEE, The University of Queensland in 2017 and 2021 respectively. Her research interests mainly include machine learning from imperfect data, by leveraging domain adaptation, domain generalization, few-/zero-shot learning and active learning to empower the applications in computer vision and multimedia data analysis areas. Her work of image analysis published at Pattern Recognition Journal in 2018 is placed in the top 1% of the academic field of Engineering and is recognised as a Highly Cited Paper by Web of Science. Yadan was awarded the Google PhD Fellowship 2020 as a recognition of her research in the machine learning area and her strong potential of influencing the future of technology. She was also a recipient of ICT Young Achiever Award, Women in Technology (WiT.org) 2018 and a few other research awards.

[For Prospective Students] I am continuously looking for highly-motivated Ph.D. students to work on machine learning & multimedia data analysis, specifically for addressing domain shifts and generalisation issues. Please send me your CV if interested.
