JIALIN LIU (M’16-SM’20) received her PhD in 2016 from Université Paris-Saclay (oral defence in December
2015), MSc in 2013 from École Polytechnique & Université Paris-Sud, France, Diplôme d'Ingénieur in 2012
from Polytech'Paris-Sud, France, and BSc in 2010 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST,
华中科技大学), China. Currently, Jialin is a Tenure-Track Associate Professor at the School of Data Science (SDS) of the Lingnan University, Hong Kong SAR, China. She was a Research Assistant Professor, Research Associate Professor, and Tenure-track Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer
Science and Engineering (CSE) of the Southern University of Science and Technology (SUSTech) between 2018 and
2024. Before joining SUSTech in 2018, she was a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Queen Mary University
of London and the University of Essex, UK. Her main research interests include, but not limited to the
following areas: AI in games (AI for playing games, particularly reinforcement learning and rolling
horizon evolutionary algorithms; AI for designing games, particularly procedural content generation),
optimisation and learning under uncertainty (derivation-free optimisation, dynamic resampling strategies,
algorithm portfolio, etc.), evolutionary computation and its applications (e.g., vehicle routing
problems), and fair machine learning.
