Biography

Dr Jiang obtained his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Northeast University in 2018. Throughout his studies, he was awarded the National Scholarship and honored as an Academic Star at Northeast University. After completing his doctorate, he worked as the Chief Scientist of AI Algorithms at Beijing ZhenHealth Company for over 3 years. During his tenure, he secured nearly 20 Chinese and international invention patents and developed several commercially viable products, including an ophthalmic multi-disease detection system and a diabetic retinopathy grading system. He also played a key role in helping the company achieve NMPA Class III certification for the Computer-Aided Diagnosis of Diabetic Retinopathy″ software, making it the fifth certified entity in China. Additionally, he was recognized as a Senior AI Engineer by the Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2020. In November 2021, he joined Southern University of Science and Technology as a postdoctoral researcher, focusing on intelligent medical image analysis, eye-tracking-assisted diagnosis, and few-shot learning. To date, he has authored 15 academic papers as the first or corresponding author.
