Short Bio: Qin Lu received the B.S. degree from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 2013 and the Ph.D. degree with Profs. Yaakov Bar-Shalom and Peter Willett from the University of Connecticut (UConn) in 2018. Following the post-doctoral training with Prof. Georgios B. Giannakis at the University of Minnesota, she joined the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Georgia as an Assistant Professor in 2023. Her research interests are in the areas of signal processing, machine learning, data science, and communications, with special focus on Gaussian processes, Bayesian optimization, spatio-temporal inference over graphs, and data association for multi-object tracking. She received the National Scholarship from China twice. She was awarded the Summer Fellowship and Doctoral Dissertation Fellowship from UConn. She was also a recipient of the Women of Innovation Award by Connecticut Technology Council in 2018, the NSF CAREER Award in 2024, and Best Student Paper Award in IEEE Sensor Array and Multichannel Workshop in 2024.
Openings:
