"Xu began her academic journey in Germany. She completed her bachelor's and master's degrees at TU Berlin, studying and working entirely in German. She later earned her PhD from RWTH Aachen University under Professor Hermann Ney, a leading figure in machine translation. During this period, she also completed research visits at Microsoft Research and IBM Watson, gaining early exposure to industry-scale AI systems."
"Her academic career continued in Asia. Xu served as an Assistant Professor and PhD adviser at Tsinghua University and later became an Associate Professor at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Across these roles, she led research teams working on dialogue systems, machine learning generalisation, and efficient AI models. Jia Xu is known for combining theory with real-world application. She has authored around 50 research papers and holds 12 patents and provisional patents."
