About Me
I received my PhD degree from Renmin University of China in 2020, and joined the Hong Kong Polytechnic University as a Research Assistant Professor since then. In 2022, I was promoted as an Assistant Professor. My research interests include data privacy and security, and adversarial machine learning. You can refer to our research lab ASTAPLE for more information.
I am looking for PhD students (Spring/Fall 2025 Admission), Research Assistants, and Postdoctoral Fellows in the field of differential privacy, and adversarial machine learning. If you are interested, please send me your CV at [email protected].
