Qianying Liu (刘倩颖)

PhD student in Computer Vision

Profile

I am a 4rd-year Ph.D. student full funded by CSC at School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow, UK, supervised by Dr. Fani Deligianni, Dr. Paul Henderson and Dr. Hang Dai. My research focuses on understanding the visual information of medical images with limited supervision, particularly in identifying organs and learning their boundaries, e.g., medical image segmentation/classification. This work lies at the intersection of Machine Learning, Computer Vision, and Medical Image Processing.

I completed a BA in Engineering Cost Management at the Chongqing Jiaotong University in 2018 (ranked top 17/209 in our major), followed by an M.Sc in Management Science and Engineering at the Shenzhen University in 2021. I then started my PhD study.
