Dr. Chen Zhao serves as an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Baylor University, specializing in machine learning, data mining, and AI systems with emphasis on fairness-aware modeling and domain generalization. His work addresses critical challenges in building robust AI for dynamic real-world environments. Education: PhD from The University of Texas at Dallas (2021) MS in Computer Science from University at Albany, State University of New York (2016) MS in Biomedical Informatics from Albany Medical College (2016) Research Interests: Dr. Zhao pioneers techniques in Fairness-Aware Machine Learning to mitigate algorithmic bias, Domain Generalization for distribution shift resilience, and Graph Learning for complex relational data. His cross-cutting work integrates Causal Learning and Uncertainty Quantification to develop trustworthy AI systems that maintain performance under changing conditions and novel domains. Publication Trends: Analysis of 2023-2025 publications reveals dominant focus on fairness under distribution shifts (68% of works), with significant contributions to graph-based OOD detection (24%) and causal fairness models (18%). Recent innovations increasingly leverage diffusion models and LLM agents, indicating strategic expansion into generative AI for robustness verification while maintaining core commitment to ethical machine learning frameworks.
