I am Jinkun Chen (he/him/his), a Ph.D. student (Post-Bachelor) studying Computer Science at Dalhousie University, supervised by Dr. Hassan Sajjad, and co-supervised by Dr. Evangelos E. Milios. My research interests are in Visualization, Explainable AI and NLP. 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 at the Institute for Big Data Analytics and my active involvement in the MERIDIAN project, I am also a member of Hypermatrix Lab, a Teaching Assistant at Dalhousie University, and a co-founder of Exorcat Technologies Ltd. Also, I teach part-time at Orange Education Ltd.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have a diverse range of hobbies and experiences that enrich my life. For instance, I have achieved certification as an AOW (Advanced Open Water) diver, and I also enjoy playing the Chinese Bamboo Flute as a creative outlet. 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.
