I am Qiuping Jiang, a Full Professor with the School of Information Science and Engineering, Ningbo University, Ningbo, Zhejiang, China. I received the Ph.D. degree in Signal and Information Processing from Ningbo University, in June 2018. From Jan. 2017 to Jun. 2018, I visited the School of Computer Science and Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, advised by Prof. Weisi Lin (IEEE Fellow). The visit was supported by the Chinese Scholarship Council.

I am the recipient of the World's Top 2% Scientists List by Stanford University and Elsevier (2022-2024), the Distinguished Youth Scholar Funding by Zhejiang Provincial Natural Science Foundation (2022), the Elsevier JVCI 2017 Best Paper Hornerable Mention Award (2017). In 2023, I was selected to be a Senior Member of IEEE.
