Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolChang Sun is an Assistant Professor and data science researcher with a decade of experience focused on privacy-preserving data mining, distributed machine learning, and FAIR-driven infrastructures. Based at Maastricht University, she has led projects that move analytics to the data (Personal Health Train, SOLID pods) to enable responsible, citizen-centric research across health and education while minimizing data transfer. Her work spans theory and practice—building scalable federated systems, mapping national microdata into knowledge graphs, and evaluating synthetic health data—while communicating results to both scientific and public audiences. Passionate about mentoring women and junior researchers, she actively promotes diversity and practical uptake of responsible data practices in STEM. An uncommon thread in her profile is combining semantic web techniques with generative and sequential-model research to improve real-world data discoverability and privacy.
