Jiaxuan Li

I am currently a final-year (2022-2025) PhD student in Nakayama Lab, Department of Creative Informatics, the University of Tokyo, supervised by Prof. Hideki Nakayama. I am supported by JSPS DC2 Fellowship.

Before that, I received the M.Eng. degree in Electronic Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2022, supervised by Prof. Yuye Ling, and the B.Eng. degree in Communication Engineering from Shanghai University in 2019, supervised by Prof. Zhi Liu.

My research interests include, but are not limited to: Fairness in Deep Learning, Vision and Language, and Medical and Biological Vision.
