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 (Fall 2024 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].
