**Zhejiang University** (**ZJU**) was [Xinbao Qiao](./Xinbao_Qiao.md)'s master's institution from 2022 to 2025. In this wiki the article records the institutional setting for the work that led into Qiao's publications on [machine unlearning](./Machine_Unlearning.md), influence-based data correction, and [data centric ML](./Data_Centric_Machine_Learning.md). It is not intended as a full university history; instead, it explains the ZJU phase within Qiao's academic timeline.

## Program

Qiao studied Artificial Intelligence at Zhejiang University and received a Master of Engineering degree in 2025. His master's research was advised by [Meng Zhang](./Meng_Zhang.md). His biography records a major GPA of 90/100 and a rank of 3/25. The ZJU period is the main bridge between his undergraduate communication-engineering background and his later doctoral focus on [AI and networks](./AI_and_Networks.md): the work moved from general AI systems toward data operations that directly affect model behavior.

## Academic context

Zhejiang University traces its institutional origin to Qiushi Academy, founded in 1897, and is headquartered in Hangzhou.[^zju-about] Public descriptions of ZJU emphasize its comprehensive structure and research strength across engineering, computer science, medicine, agriculture, and interdisciplinary innovation. For Qiao's wiki, the relevant context is the university's scale as a research environment in which data-centric and trustworthy machine-learning projects could be developed into conference submissions.

## Connection to Qiao

During the ZJU phase Qiao worked with [Meng Zhang](./Meng_Zhang.md) on [Hessian-Free Online Certified Unlearning](./Hessian_Free_Online_Certified_Unlearning.md), [Beyond Binary Erasure: Soft-Weighted Unlearning for Fairness and Robustness](./Soft_Weighted_Machine_Unlearning.md), and related data influence studies. The period also overlaps with [DynFrs: An Efficient Framework for Machine Unlearning in Random Forest](./DynFrs.md), which connects tree models, exact update logic, and practical latency constraints. In the broader biography, ZJU is therefore the institution most directly associated with the machine-unlearning branch of Qiao's publication record.

[^zju-about]: Zhejiang University's English [About page](https://www.zju.edu.cn/english/_t874/about/list.htm) places the university's historical origin in 1897 and describes it as a comprehensive research university headquartered in Hangzhou.
