Prior to that, I obtained my master degree in Imperial College London, where I worked with Prof. Alessio and Dr. Yang Zheng, and I obtained my bachelor degree in Dalian University of Technology, where I worked with Prof. Xuewen Huang
Research Interests
I am broadly interested in Machine Learning Security, Privacy, Trustworthy AI, and Optimization.
I am currently learning differential privacy. Welcome to have any discussions if you are also interested in this field.
