About — Jiahao (Kevin) Cheng

I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Concordia University and a member of Atlas Analytics Lab and Mila, supervised by Dr. Mahdi S. Hosseini.

My research focuses on computational pathology, with interests in vision-language models, deep learning, representation learning, and computer vision.

Before graduate research, I worked as a software developer at CSG International. I completed an Honours Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and Statistics at the University of Toronto.

Beyond research

A little more about me.

Outside research, I enjoy travelling, jogging, playing soccer, and video games. My academic path has taken me from Toronto to Montréal, and I value the different communities and perspectives I have found in both cities.

I speak Mandarin natively and English fluently. I am always happy to meet people who share an interest in research, technology, or any of the hobbies above.
