Faculty
Kemi Ding received the B.E. degree in Electronic and Information Engineering from Huazhong University of Science and Technology, Wuhan, China, in 2014 and the Ph.D. degree in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering from Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2018. From September 2018 to October 2021, she worked as a postdoctoral researcher in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, Arizona State University, and the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.
She is currently an assistant professor at School of Automation and Intelligent Manufacturing, Southern University of Science and Technology, and leads the lab of Learning and Mathematical Optimization in Networked Systems (LEMONS). Her research interests span the interface of control theory, game theory, signal processing and learning, with a special view towards their applications to cyber-physical system security/privacy, networked system, graph signal processing and graph neural network. Around these, she has published several papers (most of which are regular papers) in prestigious journals and leading conferences, including Automatica, IEEE TAC, IEEE TSP, IEEE TON, INFOCOM and so on.
