Jingxin Liu Dr.

Assistant Professor

Jingxin Liu (刘净心) is an Associate Professor in the School of AI and Advanced Computing at XJTLU Entrepreneur College (Taicang). He received his Ph.D in Computer Science at The University of Nottingham in 2018, M.Sc in Signal Processing and Communications from The University of Edinburgh in 2013.

Jingxin Liu’s research focus on medical image analysis, especially digital pathology and microscope image analysis, computational pathology, image processing and computer vision. He has published more than 20 peer-reviewed journal articles and conference papers, such as T-MI, MIA, J-BHI, ISBI, MICCAI.

In the past years, he has successfully attracted over 2 million research funds from both academia and industry, including NSFC Young Scientist Fund, NSF of the Jiangsu Higher Education Institutions of China General Programme.

He was awarded “Dual-Innovation Doctor”(双创博士) of Jiangsu in 2022, and Gusu Innovation and Entrepreneurship Leading Talents (姑苏领军人才) Programme in 2023.
