Qian Li is a Lecturer at School of Electrical Engineering, Computing and Mathematical Sciences (EECMS), Curtin University, Australia. Before that, she has been a Postdoc Research Fellow in the Data Science and Machine Intelligence (DSMI) Lab at University of Technology Sydney (UTS) since July 2019. She received her Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Institute of Information Engineering, Chinese Academy of Science (CAS). Before that, she got a Master degree (Master by Research) in Computer Science at Shandong University. She also won the Luxembourg Scholarship and completed 2nd M.S. degree (Master by Research) in Computer Science at University of Luxembourg.

Her recent interests lie in causal machine learning and exploring causal reasoning insights to tackle challenging problems in machine learning, such as robustness and interpretability. Besides, her research focuses on utilizing advanced mathematical tools (such as optimal transport and Riemannian geometry) to alleviate the challenges of computer vision tasks.
