Weijia Zhang
Lecturer in Data Science & Statistics, University of Newcastle
Since February 2023, I work as a Lecturer in Data Science and Statistics at the University of Newcastle (UON), Australia. Before this, I held the position of Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science and Engineering at Southeast University, China. From 2018 to 2020, I worked as a research fellow at the University of South Australia.
I completed my PhD in Information Technology and Mathematical Science at the University of South Australia in 2018, following my M.Sc. in Computer Science and Technology from Nanjing University in 2014. I also hold a Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics from Nanjing University.
My research primarily focuses on causal inference and machine learning from incomplete observations, such as causal effect estimation, survival analysis, weakly-supervised learning, and causal representation learning.
When not doing research, I am a mountain biker, a kayak paddler, a snowboarder, and a hiker.
