Shuang Li received her bachelor’s degree from University of Science and Technology of China in 2011, master’s and PhD degree from Georgia Institute of Technology in 2014 and 2019, respectively.

Prior to joining CUHK (Shenzhen), Shuang Li was a postdoctoral fellow of Harvard University, researching on multi-agent reinforcement learning in mobile health. Besides, she was responsible for preparing course materials for sequential decision making course at Harvard University in Spring 2021. During 2014 to 2019, she took the role of teaching assistant at Georgia Institute of Technology, used to be in charge of machine learning, computational data analysis, and introduction to computational data analysis. In 2018, she worked as a research intern at Google for three months, where she did research on user behavior modeling for recommender systems. Shuang Li awarded finalist of INFORMS QSR Best Student Paper Competition and finalist of INFORMS Social Media Analytics Best Student Paper Competition in the same year. She also won second place in the Jarvis Award for Graduate Student Research in H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, in 2016. She received the Hluchyj Fellowship from School of Engineering of University of Massachusetts at Amherst, from 2011 to 2012. In 2011, she won outstanding undergraduate thesis award of Department of Automation at University of Science and Technology of China.

Her research interests include Machine learning for sequential data analysis and decision-making, new sequential models, reliable and efficient learning methods, and effective inference procedures, applications to healthcare, smart cities, and social media.
