Xingyu Li is an assistant professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alberta. She received the B.Sc from Peking University in 2007, the M.Sc from the University of Alberta in 2009, and Ph.D from the University of Toronto in 2017. Before joining the University of Alberta, Xingyu was a postgraduate affiliation of the Vector Institute for Artificial Intelligence. Besides academia, Xingyu also worked in industry as a video algorithm engineer for 3 years.

Xingyu's research interests include artificial intelligence, computational medical imaging, weak supervision, deep model compression, and computer vision. A general theme is intelligent computational systems for multi-dimensional data analysis and understanding, visual data processing and analysis, and health informatics. Her research outcomes have been applied to biologists' state-of-the-art study on pathology image based breast cancer prognosis. Xingyu is interested in collaboration with external partners on data analysis projects, for example, computational medical imaging, learning-based visual data analysis, and image/video quality improvement.
