I am currently a Assistant Professor `(Lecturer) in the Department of Computer `Science, the University of `Manchester.  Fully funded PhD positions available, contact me by jingyuan.sun at manchester.ac.uk.

Prior to this, I conducted postdoc researcher adviced by Prof. Dr. Marie-Francine Moens in Department of Computer Science, KU Leuven, Belgium from August 2022 to Augutst 2024, when I was funded by the ERC Advanced Project CALCULUS under Horizon 2020. Before that, I worked as an Senior R&D engineer in Baidu, China.

Prior to working, I got my master and Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Chengqing Zong in Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I worked at the intersection of computational linguistics and neuolinguistics. 

I study how brain activities can be decoded to reconstruct lingusitic and visual perception, as well as how language and visual inputs are represented in human brain. I collect and experiment with neuro-imaging data recorded by fMRI, EEG and MEG. I publish and review papers in top-tier AI conferences and journals including NeurIPS, ACL, AAAI, IJCAI, NAACL, EMNLP and TNNLS etc.
