Hi! My name is Jianxu Chen (陈建旭). I am currently a Msc. Student at Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), advised by Prof. Imran Razzak. Previously, I was a VSRP Remote Visiting Research Student at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST). I hold dual bachelor's degrees in Information Security from North China Electric Power University (NCEPU) and Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering from Novosibirsk State University (NSU), Russia.

📖 Research Interests

My research focuses on the design and application of deep learning and machine learning algorithms. Current areas of interest include:

  • Soft Sensing & Environmental AI — Developing data-driven soft sensors for real-time water quality monitoring and prediction
  • Machine Learning — Lifelong learning, zero-shot generalization, self-calibration and self-training strategies
  • Deep Learning & Computer Vision — Image recognition, object detection, deep learning model design and optimization

If you are interested in collaborating with me or want to have a chat, feel free to reach me at Jianxu.Chen@mbzuai.ac.ae or chenjianxu75@gmail.com.
