Dr Richard Jiang

Senior Lecturer

Profile

Dr. Richard Jiang is a Senior Lecturer (Associate Professor) in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, UK. He is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA) and a Member of the EPSRC Peer Review College. His research interests reside in the fields of Novel Computing and Artificial Intelligence, with a focus on Quantum Neural Computing, Post-Quantum Computing, Medical Computing, and Trustworthy AI.

Dr. Jiang has secured over ?1 million in research funding from the EPSRC, the Leverhulme Trust, international funding bodies, and industry partners to advance his pioneering research. He has pioneered single-qubit and hybrid quantum neural models on NISQ devices, opening new routes for resource-efficient quantum computing with real-world data. Working with world-leading AI researchers worldwide, he has contributed to shaping the next generation XAI towards trustworthy AI. In medical computing, he invented Face2Brain, a breakthrough method for non-invasive neurodegenerative assessment, and developed explainable precision models for brain function and ageing analysis, offering new insights into cognitive computing processes. His earlier work on encrypted pattern recognition, leveraging the many-manifold learning framework, is paving new pathways towards post-quantum pattern analysis and data security.

Dr. Jiang has supervised and co-supervised more than 20 PhD researchers, with over 10 successfully completing their doctorates. He has authored over 100 peer-reviewed publications, edited books and special issues, and actively serves on editorial boards, programme committees, and as a reviewer for leading international journals and conferences.
