I’m a final-year Ph.D. candidate at CISPA, where I am supervised by Prof. Michael Backes and advised by Dr. Yang Zhang. My research focuses on the intersection of machine learning and security,with a particular interest in exploring the role of data in adversarial machine learning.

I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Physics from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2019. I completed a summer research internship at the University of Tokyo under the supervision of Prof. Tsuyoshi Takagi, where I focused on the security evaluation of LWE-based cryptosystems. Following that, I did my final year thesis at Shanghai Jiao Tong University under the guidance of Prof. Yu Yu.

I am passionate about applying my research to real-world problems and welcome opportunities to collaborate with industry and academia to advance the state-of-the-art in machine learning security and privacy.
