Hi there!

I am Jinkun Chen (he/him/his), a Ph.D. student (Post-Bachelor’s, fully funded) studying Computer Science at Dalhousie University. My research primarily revolves around Explainable AI, AI for Science, and Visualization, with a particular emphasis on promoting fairness, responsible and trustworthy within LLMs. While my work is not heavily centered on ocean data, it does occasionally touch on aspects of marine environment analysis as part of my works and broader research interests. Prior to my doctoral studies, I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science with First Class Honours from Dalhousie University under the supervision of Dr. Fernando Paulovich, who is now an Associate Professor at Eindhoven University of Technology.

Aside from my role as an AIS Data Analyst with MERIDIAN at Institute for Big Data Analytics and MARS group, an seasonal Instructor at Dalhousie University, and a co-founder of Exorcat Technologies Ltd., and the founder of Jinnkunn Consulting Inc.

I can be reached at [email protected] or [email protected]. You can also find my profile on LinkedIn. If you are interested in reading my thoughts and insights, you can follow me on Twitter at @_jinnkunn for more updates.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a diverse range of hobbies and experiences that enrich my life 🤩. For instance, I hold an Advanced Open Water (AOW) diver certification 🤿, am currently training as a fixed-wing aircraft pilot ✈️, and find creative expression through playing the Chinese Bamboo Flute 🪈. Additionally, I have prior experience serving as an anchor on Bilibili 👨🏻‍🎨, a popular video-sharing platform in China.

Lastly, if you happen to speak Chinese, my Chinese name is 陈晋坤, which is pronounced as chén jìn kūn. My family name is 'Chen (陈)', and we belong to the Yimen Chen lineage of the Yiling branch (义门陈夷陵支系), with 'Jin (晋)' as my generational designation.
