Dr. Xiaojun Qi is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and the director of Computer Vision Laboratory at Utah State University (USU). She has expertise in artificial intelligence, with the three central themes being image processing, machine learning, and computer vision. She has established and sustained an active and vigorous nationally recognized research program, involving undergraduate and graduate students, to address challenging machine learning and computer vision issues. She has acquired competitive funding from NSF, Air Force Research Lab, Utah Department of Transportation, Utah Water Research Laboratory, and TCL Research America to work as a PI on 18 projects and as a Co-PI on two projects. She has supported and supervised 82 students and published 105 peer-reviewed scientifically rigorous and innovative papers in high-quality journals, book chapters, and conference proceedings. She has also gained her professional leadership experience by serving on 16 technical program committees and four NSF review panels and serving as a reviewer for 39 international journals, 23 international conferences, and two textbooks. |
