Assistant Professor, School of Computing Fei Dou is an Assistant Professor in the School of Computing at the University of Georgia. She earned her Ph.D. (2023) in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Connecticut, where she worked in the Laboratory of Machine Learning & Health Informatics under Prof. Jinbo Bi. Her work contributes to fundamental machine learning for the Internet of Things and cyber-physical systems, particularly federated learning, reinforcement learning, and self-supervised learning. Dou’s research advances machine intelligence for ubiquitous computing in distributed systems, emphasizing scalable, responsible, and context-aware AI. Key areas include human-centered sensing and indoor intelligence; federated and distributed ML for decentralized collaboration; multimodal and explainable AI for scientific problems (e.g., biological data integration); and sensing in underwater, remote, and low-power environments through resilient protocols and ML-based analytics.
