My name is Xuan Kan (้˜š็’‡). I obtained my bachelorโ€™s degree in Software Engineering at Tongji University, Shanghai, advised by Prof. Lin Zhang. During my undergraduate study, my research focused on pervasive and trustworthy systems design and implementation using machine learning methods supervised by Prof. Xiaoxuan Lu at University of Oxford.

Currently, I am pursuing my Ph.D. degree in computer science at Emory University under the joint supervision of Prof. Carl Yang and Prof. Ying Guo. My research goal aims to design more efficient and interpretable machine learning algorithms for fMRI data, which can assist in neurobiological findings and mental disease diagnosis.
