I’m a research fellow (Postdoc) at National University of Singapore. I received my Ph.D. degree at Tsinghua University under the supervision of Professor Chao Zhang, Qi Li and Zongpeng Li. I received a B.E. from Huazhong University of Science and Technology (with the highest honor). My primary research interests lie in AI for security (applying AI techniques to enhance system and software security) and AI security (studying the robustness and trustworthiness of AI models).
